Flexing the stick - Wristshot, Slapshot and Snapshot - Complete Shot video 5

PRODUCT LINKS:

In this video I teach how to flex the hockey stick to get more power. The flex happens in the wristshot, snapshot and especially the slapshot to add speed and power to all shots.

85 flex will do anybody good.. I'm now 27 and have played hockey my whole life competitively and have tried 75, 85, 90, 95, and 100 flex over the years.. The brands have different ratings for each flex.. For example an Easton 85 vs CCM 85 flex might not feel the same flex wise.. You also have to take into account kick points and figure out which that you like.. They say lower kicks is good for wrists / snaps and mid kicks are good for clappers.. I found this to be partially true.. But overall I found the 85 flex to be my favourite.. Over the past 4 years it's all I've been using and I've gotten a good feel for it. Find what you like and stick with it.. 👍🏽

Thank you, this was very useful especially the advanced way to shoot I will surely try that. This channel and howtohockey are like my online library of never ending hockey tips

Who remembers the aluminum sticks? I remember rocking those in mini-tyke and tyke.

Best shot instruction ever.  I wish these videos existed when I was completely clueless and searching youtube for shot tutorials.  But my shots still need a lot of work, so I'm still going to rewatch all these vids over and over until the principles are wedged deep in my cerebellum.

Great videos Jeremy, thanks for spreading the knowledge to this "late bloomer!"

Great video Jeremy. Although I know how to use the flex on my stick properly, it is awesome for guys looking to take that next step in their game. I won't lie this did help me brush up on wrister :)

Love the Kearny hockey pad at the park. Such a great place for ball hockey.

Could you say that a) a snapshot is always shot from the inside leg (weight on it) while b) you can shoot a wristshot on any of them. Is the differentiating factor, thus, in the length and quickness of the release before the actual eh release and follow throug (meaning you can do both from the inside leg but only the longer lasting wristshot from the outside leg)? Thanks in advance, coach.

Thanks this was great I'd been having trouble loading up the stick on wrist shots

Thanks Jeremy I tried this and I dented my nets frane

Very helpful as a refresher of the fundamentals.

Jeremy what is the flex and kick point of that stick you use. Can you mention that in your videos in the future?

[doncorleone]

Man I figured all this out on my own.. but it took a good couple years.  Wish I'd seen this video sooner!  Great stuff.

[sillymitch]

I watched this video a couple days before a game... had a Fricken bullet come off my wrist shot to the point where the goalie didn't move... and I hit the top 90 leaving me a bar down. I've notice my game get much better just taking some basic pointers and thinking about it while I'm on the ice! thanks Jeremy!!

Great video!  One big thing you didn't mention though was make sure to keep your hands wide enough apart, which you do very well.  If your hands are too close it makes it much harder to flex the stick.

I'm about 6'10 and I weigh 635 pounds, recommendation on stick flex?
