I am on a JV and this is my 4th year playing and I have no idea how to shoot a slapshot. Everyone else on my team can shoot perfect slapshots and I only can take wrist shots. How do I improve my slapshot. Everytime I attempt one it doesn't get off the ground and it isn't hard at all. Do I need to work on my upper body strength? or does it come from my legs?

I made a JV team this past season for the first time and this is my 4th year playing hockey and I have no idea how to shoot a slapshot. Everyone else on my team can shoot perfect slapshots and I only can take wrist shots. How do I improve my slapshot. Everytime I attempt one it doesn't get off the ground and it isn't hard at all. Do I need to work on my upper body strength? or does it come from my legs? Or neither? is it the form?

Get a bucket of pucks and start shooting
Even off-ice with piece of plywood for a backboard and another for a shooting surface
Shoot 50 to 100 pucks a day, start about 5 feet from the backboard and keep moving back as your shot strengthens
Give it 2 weeks, and you'll see a difference, practice is the best solution, soon it will be second nature

its the angle of the stick when you hit the puck. just like a wrist shot. Make the blade instead of being straight up and down move your wrist slightly to give it a slight angle this should help ya out

There are two ways to do this...
1) Have one of your coaches help you,that's why they are there(at least thats the idea anyway)
2) Picture your boyfriend in the net after you caught him copping a peek at another girl.
Good luck!

lean your weight on the stick strike the ice first just inches behind the puck let the stick flex of your stick work in your favour ice first follow throught into puck and practice makes perfect

light composite sticks hit farther most of the time for most people. make sure you bend your legs & are in the right position. no one can really help you unless they know what you're doing right now & how you can improve from that.
