The New Technique For Shooting

[@Falkenroth1]

I swear these guys are using 30 flex sticks with 100 written on them. Haha. Great breakdown. I will try some of this.

[@Train2point0]

It's great that you're showing all these professional players' mechanics, which is great for modernizing learning the best techniques used by the highest-level players. But it's also important to point out that stick specs might make a big difference here--particularly kick-point. Shooting mechanics differ depending on the style of stick you have. I think a lot of old advice is for mid-kick sticks, but a lot of forwards in the NHL use low-kick sticks, which means they can get good power from a quicker release and higher hand positioning. That said, I know you're not giving a one-size-fits-all explanation here; you're telling players to find their own most comfortable shooting position. But this is an important caveat when modeling shots after clips of the pros!

[@Train2point0]

Yeah exactly. Take a mechanics first approach to your development. After you have the proper mechanics then focus on these smaller details like sticks and equipment.

Old guy beer leaguer who played with lumber for 40 years before switching to composite. I love what you're saying, because when I think about hands out and all that jazz, I inherently mess up my shot. Every time. But if all the unnatural cues are bull, and I know I'm not Marchand and never will be, what can I still do to quickly improve and adjust to the composite?

Same here. From Cape Town. Played with second hand wooden sticks in the last century took more than a decade break in the game, retuned after covid when I realized that playing hockey, (yes, even at our level, here in Africa, was some of the most enjoyable times of my life) and returning to a whole new outlook in the game. New technologies, different type of skates, gear and just a whole new way of learning the game, via social media, internet and videos and tuning into Training 2.0. Still not the easiest thing, with the dollar rand exchange but, boy so much more information to tune into, and ability to learn from, and try out every time I go for a skate. It is fantastic, and now our beer league division in Cape Town is growing in leaps and bounds and players are returning, almost not believing the fact that they are playing again after so many years of not participating. I always recommend that our players check out this channel from Jason Ye. As it enlightens us, and challenges us oldies to get back into the game and become students of fun again. Just absolutely fantastic and it comes with great health and fitness benefits. Thanks again from Cape Town.

same way you did as a kid, but dent your garage door instead of your dad's

Lots here and in the full Slingshot Shooting System course 👍

[@bfish9700]

I wonder if the "shift your weight" is a cue for counter hip rotation. That counter hip rotation feels similar to hitting a baseball or golf ball. I am shooting a lot harder just pulling the puck in and releasing off the toe than trying to muscle and push snapshots.

[@Train2point0]

Very well could be. No question, the toe pressure is crucial 👍

Bro where the coupon code for the membership. I wanna look under the hood before commiting.

[@Train2point0]

Haha you're under it in week 1 my friend.

[@Deedub100]

be careful shooting after taking the slingshot course...make sure your goalies have pro level padding before letting shots rip full speed at them. I bruised up a goalie through his pads and hit him in the collar area which made him pass out...with great power comes great responsibility eh. 80+ mph shots are serious.

[@Train2point0]

Haha need that disclaimer, thanks for sharing.
