Receiving a Pass on Your Backhand in Hockey

[@mhicaoidh1]

Good tip! Have you ever considered a lower lie for your stick/blade? This would prevent the toe from being so far off the ice as seen in this demonstration.

[@tchevrier]

it seemed high.

[@mhicaoidh1]

@@tchevrier I've gone from a lie 6 to a 5.5 to a 5 and now play with a 4 ... and frankly ... the 4 is perfect for me. I am seeing a little more wear toward the toe end of the tape, but the angle is helping me load my "pull in snap shots" With lie 6 blades, all the wear was at the heel, and with lie 5 the wear was right in the middle. Tape wear is you know what lie is best for you.

Interesting! I've learned something new today!

[@PaperCut2UGaming]

why not just load on the opposite leg and take it in?

[@kellianhockeyskilldevelopm2321]

Absolutely true. This tip has a player thinking about stick management.

I just turn my blade perpendicular to the puck to receive

[@BurtTurbo]

you need to look up the definition of perpendicular.

[@Capt_McNugget]

@BurtTurbo ok? I make sure it hits my blade at a 90 degree more or less can angle it if I want the puck to go in front of me or behind
