How To Take a SNAP SHOT Like A Pro

Really good tutorial!
As a u14 hockey player, shooting is really important for me,
and this tutorial highlights everything needed to train my shots!
Thanks 💯💯

I love how you started with an overview. Good info, well organized.

Dude looks like draisaitl

Excellent breakdown of snapshot! You offer great insight for proper technique and show great video angles.

learn how to flex your stick, get good balance, and get a lot of ice time. this is not an easy shot you can master quickly

I really feel like improving my game this summer and one of the things I needed to improve was my shot watching this video made me realize that I was so worried about flexing my stick downwards that I never even realized that I needed to do the proper weight exchange and that I wasn’t bringing that top hand back towards me while shooting but thx to this vid I’m going to start doing that

WHY DIDNT I KNOW ABOUT THIS CHANNEL EARLIER😭

This is a great video and it helped me out

This is a great comprehensive video. Thanks for the upload, new subscriber.

Think the terminology for this has been changed to a wrist shot. The old “wrist” shot is now a drag shot.

Awesome advice!!! I was trying to figure out how to generate more power with technique but couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong.

toe drag release

Since my daughter won't really listen to me I hope she listens to you lol

Absolute beauty of an explanation. Cheers

I live in Philly and grew up here so, GO BIRDS!

Man i wish i had videos like this when i was starting to play in the 80s.

What a amazing video man! Thanks 100 times 👍

isn’t it a slap shot

This is an outstanding breakdown and execution of a the Snap Shot! One minor recommendation, briefly address the positioning and placement of your lower hand on the stick shaft. Again, this is a GREAT Instructional Video, so, please don't look at my recommendation as any form of criticism.

I’ve been working on the snapshot a lot recently and trying to shoot it like Phil Kessel. After some months working on it, I have noticed that it has improved but i can't get a thing right like Kessel does. After he releases a shot from his inside leg, he gets his top hand so it ends up on the bottom of the logo on the jersey, and i really want to get that thing right. Anyone got tips?

The technique pointers are great! It’s too bad tho that none of these hockey channels provide any good strength training advice, just a shopping list of exercises with no programming advice, no means of progression, heck not even a recommended set and rep scheme.

Out of hockey for 22 yrs. 43 now. Can't get used to new sticks that weigh nothing. Snap shot was shit. Used to break glass with it. Add 10 mph.??? Try I added 50+ probably after watching this,...

I really don't get the whole "pushing the puck forward" before you shoot deal. Why exactly is that necessary? When I shoot the puck never leaves my blade and I have no issues putting the hands in front of my body. Just trying to understand because I don't really understand what exactly that is supposed to do mechanically.

Step one:
Don’t have tennis elbow 😥

My arm hurts

Love the vids

I wish there was videos like this 15+ years ago 😄

Just back playing again after about 8 or so year, my snapshot still quick and has some zip, but the puck seems to flutter

Any tips

Focusing on the top hand during a shot is a game changer, at least for a hockey newbie like myself

As others noted, this is the best snap shot training video I’ve seen. Great breakdowns, tips and exercises. Which part of the blade do you strike puck with? In your video, looks like middle. Some coaches/players fire it off the toe. Thanks!

My wrist shot is still hot garbage but these made my snapshot pretty ok. #2 was totally a game changer. And practice, 75 shots a day.

Best video I’ve seen on this. I remember searching for this video 9 years ago and there wasn’t much info out there. Thanks lots!

i dont really use a "wrist shot" anymore, I will pull it back like a wrist shot but snap it like a snapshot

Nice video

I really like the decomposition of the technique in different exercises

kind of late i do 15 pullups

this is a good video

The video is great and all but the thing is that i dont have that exercise gear.

maybe if you can do a video when you use suff you have at home.

Great explanation!

Great video, I use a snap shot 95% of the time. Just a great way to get off a quick shot in stride.

Hey coach do you know why sometimes to puck flips when I shoot because I feel like when that happens it loses power

It's all about that top hand! There's no swing or body rotation like a slapper so almost all the energy comes from whipping the top hand. My shot stunk because I followed way too much advice focused on loading the stick with the bottom hand 😞

Please consider uploading shooting sessions once in a while and track your speed with a radar gun.

Okay dudes. I have watched approximately 15 videos trying to properly understand the mechanics of the snapshot. In the first minute, you guys answered all of my questions and more. I don’t know why I ever watch anyone else’s channel. You guys rock!

I've literally checked all snap shot videos on the internet to understand how, what and why. To get the technique as good as possible.. This is mind-blowing information you are sharing. Helpful as hell! Keep doing your thing! Best regards from Sweden

The explanations how the exercises contribute to the shooting are incredibly good.

Great vid! Lots of info jammed in there. I’ve watched it twice and have it saved for my return to the ice after a broken finger. Can’t wait!!!
I’m 58 and my next season will be my 4th year AND I’M JUST GETTING STARTED!!!
