Lacrosse Shooting On The Run - Paul Rabil

[@kidzbopsux]

I cannot believe that you saved footage of the “lost” 2006 season! I can’t find any photos or videos of 2006 Hopkins as if the season didn’t exist.

[@thomas3718]

Paul Rabil is my favorite athlete to watch, of any sport. He is so clean with all his dodges and shots, you can tell he's practiced everything he does more than anyone else. This is a true champion

[@stevereilly6381]

Thank you so much for the slow mo parts so i could look where his arms where great video

[@andpoo54]

he can hit that bottom corner better than i have ever seen, he was at one of the camps i went to in ca and he did a shooting demonstration at lunch at it was amazing how he hits every single point in the goal

[@mick-luv-in]

this is a sick vid its cool to see how the best of the best do things

[@setlaxsoccer77]

Still some of the best highlights

[@adiosmiamigo]

They do have the same set up, split dodge and shooting on the run down the alley, but they have different footwork. Watch their feet, Rabil shoots off of the foot on the same side the the stick is in while harrison shoots of his opposite foot. This is why Harrison jumps in the air a little when he jumps. A lot of people don't notice this but it is a big difference in shooting technique

[@gim10003]

This is the best skill a midfielder can have. I wish I had focused on it more back when I played. Its actually several skills. You have to be fast, a good enough dodger to get a few steps on your defenseman, very strong lefty and righty, able to generage a strong wind-up while on the run, and have an accurate shot.

[@r0xtarkid]

whip is a term used to say how tight your shooting strings r the tighter they r the more the ball will go down when you release it from shooting or passing

[@captain0328]

best feeling ever, seeing the net move after a shot.

[@fuzelax25]

rabils shot is amazing

[@OxygenMcgee]

Good job with the slow mo's as well.

[@Swboy93]

paul rabil has good moves and shots

[@laxinjewjew24]

rabil has everything good in a lax player.....stick skills,size,speed,and pretty badass shooting if u ask me hahah

[@Tagbadger3]

I can't say his style is the usual technique, but he does it like no one else, and people who copy the technique seem to have similar success.

[@youngmoneyballaz]

@DJTrain1451 its actually veryy possible to do it.a friend of mine owns a hi speed camera and i ripped a few and you could see the shaft flexing.i also did it with one of the carbon composite shafts, and on the hs cam it flexes soo much it almost touched my back, then when you pull through it adds a shitload of torque

[@x6xk1LLx9x]

@DeathizYellow either seems to work for me. i ussually do it with my right hand regardless of whether im shooting lefty or righty (since im right handed)

[@strikerTJ14]

hes so good at scoring and the swim move

[@Sandalio92]

He gets so much torque on his shot!

[@IxEH05xI]

Perfect low and away, every time he tries to

[@idkijstmadethis4no]

this made me second guess my future of playin at hopkins

[@BBlazer14]

wow thats pretty amazing, he is getting them in the net both left handed and right handed

[@freeofkings]

Worst feeling ever: realizing it's on the outside of the net.

[@XxxxExclusivexxxX]

i would love to have him if i were ever in an overtime situation. a beast in hs

[@duceman11]

i love how he scores on lefty goalies strong sides all the time

[@Sandalio92]

the goal vs duke is my favorite

[@SteelRain12]

Paul Rabil is the most dominant midfielder to have played the game in the last several years. He is more dynamic than Kyle Harrison because he is more of a left handed threat and his fundamentals are much better than Harrisons. His size and speed make him so much more difficult to cover as well.

[@DJTrain1451]

"This one you gotta save....It's only going 81 mph from downtown" haha. 2:05-2:09 it looks like he's flexing the shaft on his shot.

[@JWG203]

Max Quinzani owns this doob! Rabil is for babies Quinzani plays all day

[@claesondillon]

true. but you only fadeaway to gain separation. you gotta lean hard back into the shot to get your weight behind it. we have a disgusting sophomore who isn't particularly strong and makes a very similar dodge and shot and it rarely fails. he does a stepback/fadeaway etc to get his hands free and leans hard into the shot to get power. he's very good

[@zShinannigansz]

i dont know how he got so much torque out of his shot and it didnt turn him around on that last game winner. he kept going like it was nothing. best shooter on the run ever.

[@kentmurphy2700]

This is Just insane.

[@BRgoalie]

greatest player ever

[@zohhamaze]

I would do the nastiest and most unforgivable things to paul rabil if I had the chance. total beast

[@th3h01y0n3]

ya i tried shooting like and him and im not trying to brag or anything but i hit 2 in a row to the top right corner. his form is really nice

[@TheOneCob22]

whip is one helluva drug.

[@DeathizYellow]

Do you cradle with the top or bottom hand before shooting on the run?

[@RamdomReviez]

@Laxbroz22 I think that is the best reasoning ever

[@nin10star]

i want to know how he puts his shooting strings to create that much whip. its redicullous.

[@tevinm14]

@DJTrain1451 hahaha flexing the shaft =)

[@MRKDjarod]

yeah ill get right on it lacrosse super-star

[@ewoif]

does it matter what foot you shoot off of?

[@atubeUpyerpoopr]

sweet. nicely done you can actually learn from this

[@th3h01y0n3]

believe me or not, im trying to copy his shot casue its so good :) i have to say that im getting there but will never be like him. hes amazing!

[@Lehmann108]

Wow! Does he have a fast shot! Very little time to react to speed like that.

[@shox5555]

@AirsoftService it's showing how he shoots not just highlights

[@TEgnoto89]

He's definitely a better shooter than both of them, and will most likely be one of the best players the game has seen - MP is definitely a lot more fun to watch though

[@th3h01y0n3]

i see if he shoots with his right hand then hes off his right foot. left hand, left foot. i was the opposite way until i figured out id get more power shooting off the same foot/same hand

[@icealex27]

this is as good of group of goalies as it gets and.... goal

[@humanprojecttraining]

2:20 made me sad it was so good

[@CJumpman23]

@laxinjewjew24 not to mention his flow

[@DaLaxer98]

so god really does play lacrosse.

[@andoverlaxer]

go rabi go rabi go

[@thealdine99]

how is this related to Easton or talon?

[@SUlax1017]

@domdomi32 i think that quint kessnich would no a little more than u about it being that he was a fantastic goalie

[@life4lax19]

o and i just found sumthin crazy!! pause at 2:30...it is the exact shot on the inside lacrosse yearbook magazine...if u have the mag u will notice...i cant believe i just found that!!!!

[@scottsdalefirebirds5]

Holy shit look at the flex at 2:06

[@bobleeswagger308]

is he left or right handed?

[@dosoon]

at 2:24...the ball hitting the post sounds like a gunshot @__@

[@imabeast1212]

sickest. laxer. ever.

[@ABC-abc-1234]

@poolpopper every game takes skill and requires practice in order to succeed and if you compare baseball and lacrosse baseball is harder and it is boring compared to a fast paced high action game such as lacrosse Both games take skill and are equally tough but in different parts of the game though

[@x6xk1LLx9x]

@BBlazer14 iv only been playing for 2 years but being able to shoot with both hands has never been that hard for me, and im not even ambidextrous or anything. is it really that amazing?(real question, not trolling)

[@LAXTR51]

at like 2:06 it looks like the stick just completly bends haha

[@GummyTurtl3]

Im in 8th grade and my friend shot 80 mph at a tournie on one of those games u play to see how fast u can shoot

[@humanprojecttraining]

"it's only about 81 mph" wow dude

[@SUlax1017]

ho does he score so far out on the run

[@tpow24]

jeez, whip it good

[@farris8522]

@ltsJustAndy how old are you?

[@RandyDLa]

He makes it look so easy dodging his opponents but when I do it i f up every time.

[@tmorgantini23]

type in "gwich lax sticks" for a sweet lax stick video and sweet mids

[@mpfrenchy]

not human

[@MexxProtect]

i wish i was only half as awesome as he is...

[@M0R197]

actually a lot of people call him that but whatever

[@MRKDjarod]

ha not to be a downer because i believe that PR is absolutely amazing, but that first shot is not a good example of how kids learning the shot on the run should try it. Most kids dont have that much whip, and also he went off his back foot. either way, can't argue with results :-P

[@shox5555]

that's not a shot that's a fucking lazer

[@meansman12]

it kinda llooks like the jordan symbol when he shoots

[@Swboy93]

rabail is the best

[@MexxProtect]

check out his vids on youtube (search for paulvrabil) i guees it must be something like a 6-7...

[@thealdine99]

@Gummyturtl3 when you think about it, 80 mph isn't all that fast. I just finished 8th grade and I can almost shoot 90. i know a lot of kids my age who can shoot faster than me too.

[@Jwill8889]

2:05 = boss

[@NoviCats04]

haha on the second highlight, Quint is talking about how good the goalies are, and then paul makes them look stupid!

[@sk8erluck]

damn

[@x6xk1LLx9x]

@BBlazer14 lol wasnt braging at all i dont think im that good iv just found, what iv thought is as an odd amount of people(that iv seen or met in real life) that struggle with boths hands at the highschool level and i was really starting to think that there was no way that it could be so difficult, tho i do live in illinois so obviously we dont have the best laxers

[@JWG203]

Just Kidding

[@mrniceguy7207]

*mo

[@oMyMike]

kyle harrison has only been in the mll longer because he got out of collage first. but rabil has made a better impact to the mll. kyle harrison dissaperd when he got in the mll. dont get me wrong they r both way better than me but rabil is better

[@TheGbplaya]

my girl friend's cousin is paul rabil

[@LAXTR51]

lol i dont blame him

[@CanadaIsLAX]

okay problem...it says in the descrip arguably the best...this isnt arguable he is THE BEST on the run shooter

[@tripleac321]

you cant even see the ball.fast

[@DJTrain1451]

@tevinm14 I bet he does every night. That's how he has such huge forearms! O.o

[@jimtrollan]

haha he's got a d pole on him in all of these videos, cant say i blame the defense though i would too

[@CTfalife623]

3:20 "I'd like to see more creative matchups created" ... and i'd like to see better speaking abilities being spoken lolol

[@PaulK127]

lol... 2:35 too

[@JWG203]

Quinzani onws Rabil even if he does play attack he will be even better without Danowski

[@Trikster98]

He always talks about getting as close as he can to his defender yet all of these dodges are really far away from them

[@life4lax19]

look at his feet as he shoots its not how they teach you to shoot...he does it of the back foot wierd

[@Ironlaxer]

If you like baseball why are you watching this vid.

[@Omar13Z]

In the "it's only 81 miles an hour" clip, the Duke goalie would've made a save but he tilted his head sideways. I don't play goalie so I don't know, maybe tilting your head a bit side ways is the proper way to save a shot. Not being a smart mouth.

[@bobbobbob1234134]

he ducked so he wouldn't block the goalies sight
