Thanks for sharing this video. I love the attention to detail with respect to keeping it simple. You know you're a master of your craft when you can break it down like this. Personally, the clapper is the weakest of my shots. I need exactly this kind of coaching. In time I know I will improve my consistency. Thanks again!

[@derekwang3744]

The best video explaining the slap shot... very helpful!

[@cheyennet2455]

Such an unbelievably helpful video as a young female hockey player back then we never really practiced slapshots but being older now I would like to incorporate most powerful shot in and having never really practiced it this has helped so much

[@laurenemilyw]

What a great video idea! So much great information 🥰

[@james_hky4874]

Excellent tutorial thanks so much bro! I love your videos keep doing what your doing!

[@Mx-zr1kg]

Thanks for all the tips sooo helpful!!!

[@colbynye5995]

Great explanation! Thanks for sharing!

[@dejansiljegovic4467]

I played street and roller hockey since I was 8, and was pretty decent. I took to ice when I was 14, and no one corrected and showed me what I was doing wrong on a slapshot on ice. I had completely wrong mechanics for a puck and could not lift it off the ice to save my life and looked and felt very awkward doing so. I could skate,pass, and wrist shoot well, but I really wish I had this video and guidance like this when transitioning to ice.

[@jamestaylor857]

Sean really is the man

[@djamsaidmuradov1509]

amazing tips, thanks a lot!

[@mr.gold-vancouvercanada1845]

I have 2 of these Ultrasonic sticks, best for the big slapper!

[@billonbass2286]

Wow. Great video.

[@AnHourOfWolves]

Wait, did he just kiss that stick?!? It's a very detailed description of the slap shot, and very helpful. It's almost a little overwhelming managing all the details. I'll likely have to watch the video, practice with 50 shots, rinse and repeat for a few weeks before I really get it down. Any tips on how to fast-forward this? :) Cool idea about remote coaching... very tempting.

[@AnHourOfWolves]

I tried this out on the tennis court for practice and the improvement was amazing. I now have a (not quite great) slapshot now! I was purely a wrist-shooter up until now, but I took a couple amazing slapshots in the hundred that I shot and it's all 100% because of what I learned in this video! Thanks a lot.

[@unplugged123]

this is great! can u keep doing more of these correction videos??

[@user-mo5ys7rg1b]

Крутой мужик, молодчик🔨

[@TerrysTwigReviews]

Need to work on my off ice slap shots!

[@TomHuston43]

There was no slapshot in the late 40s when, as little more than a tyke, I started to play hockey. Moreover, I had one stick a year; if I broke it, I had to wait a year to get another stick. So even though I grew up in a hockey mecca, I had to use a wrist shot... always. Also, as I recall, Geoffrion, "the boomer" was the first to put his signature on the slapshot for the Habs.

[@oldrichbarvencik8810]

Thank you for a very informative video. I have a question, what about the stick length for the off-ice training? By the common sense it should be shorter (to compensate skates) but is it ok to use simply same stick as for ice? Thank you in advance for any advice

[@andersborum9267]

At position 3:30 you say "we wouldn't shoot our legs, then our arms; it's always the exact same time" then proceeds to showing exactly stepping into the shot with the right leg, then arms. You always lead with the opposing leg and each and every clip on the internet, including hockey, baseball etc. shows this natural motion.

[@MarshallBLewis]

Shaun, do you write right or left handed? And in baseball, do you bat right or left?

[@larrydepalma9936]

I noticed your follow through when u keep your right elbow to high and back to far your missing about 1.5’ of snap at the end of your follow through and with your stick if you see right at the end how it fades up to the right you should probably keep it straight and stop and it will help with better accuracy. Anyway, that’s my opinion. Thank you.

[@chriseason2785]

3:46 you are using your front foot to stabilize yourself while you take a shot. This is taking a lot of snap and quickness out of your shot. If you time your forward weight movement so that you hit the puck before your front foot hits the ground you will see that your shot is faster and your total time is quicker. You want to fall into the puck so that you don't take some of that power out of the shot by absorbing your weight transfer in that front foot. Zibanejad shoots with a front leg on the ice but he has no weight on the front leg when he is shooting.

[@conceptalfa]

👍 👍 👍!!!

[@vincentkingsdale8334]

Funny how different this is from a golf swing. They tell us to coil from the top and then unwind the hips first. Then they say feel is different than real. I just swing and hope for the best at this point. If i had taken consistent lessons years ago, i might be hitting 250-300 yards. But this instruction says to wind and unwind everything together. Hockey swing seems simpler

[@larrydepalma9936]

Golfers have a hard time adapting, taking a slapshot, because they are taught to open their shoulders and your shoulders should be in between the posts when you’re finished

[@chriseason2785]

You would shoot way better in rollerblades than in sneakers.

[@Carterdoesants]

Activate the 300$ stick capabilities 😂

[@MicBergsma]

No CC available, too hard to read your lips 😆

[@5jkimmels]

It's a GREAT video, but personally, I think anyone can benefit from it without CC. Any rock-solid player like Sean will tell you to hold your arms stiff because that is what they were told. But look at the video starting at ~ 7:57. He clearly violates what he TELLS you regarding the upper (right) arm. Why? Because he KNOWS how shoot extremely effectively, and demonstrates it very proficiently. Do as he DOES; not fully as he SAYS. We'll both become better players by observing & following exactly what he does. GREAT video. Very helpful.

Is the woke rainbow logo really necessary?
