Hey ya'll so I've started to pick up hockey about a year ago. I've never really skated and such before so it's been quite a learning process. I've recently started to get more comfortable with my skating ability so I've been going to a few stick and skate sessions to practice my stickhandling and shooting.
The one thing that's been really bothering me is that I can't seem to get a wrist shot off the ice. I'm almost 100% sure my technique is wrong. However, I've read many articles and watched many tutorial videos on Youtube and such and my shots are still just flush against the ice.
I'm trying to cup the puck near the heel of my stick and rotate my upper hand and opening up the stick during the shot.
I've even had friends who played hockey explain to me how to do it and I still can't seem to lift the puck. Am I too weak or something?? :S
Do you guys have any tips?
How did you guys learn to lift the puck when you started out?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
