Great content here. These mistakes are something almost every lacrosse player makes. Whats tough is that someone can watch this video and "understand" it but that doesn't mean they will actually correct their bad habits. It takes hours and hours of SMART repetitions with strategic focal points to learn these concepts and actually turn it into your new habits. To shoot with good technique like this without having to think about it, that takes a ton of time and effort.

Young players - This is the technique that players "pure shooters" like Tommy Schreiber and Deemer Class are using. Great advice to help get your shot off quicker and more accurately, while maintaining great velocity. Thanks Coach Christmas!

How do I do the spin before shoting? I've wanted to know this for a while, so I'm glad for answers :)

@ayosummey511 8 жыл бұрын

+Jim Håkansson You kinda just get it. Try watching people shooting in slow motion. Start by cradling the ball, then, move your top hand down and do the same cradling motion. Try cradling where you put your hands to shoot. Use your bottom hand as control. After you get that, all it is is tweaking and just dialing it in. It takes practice. It's one of those things you get after a while. Hope this helps mate!

Cool video - nice technique. But does anyone else think his pocket looks too deep to be legal? I keep seeing snapshots from the pros and the ball is clearly well below the bottom sidewall. Just an observation.

@andrewkibler9384 9 жыл бұрын

there are no regulations on pockets in the pros. They dont regulate anything like that because it only helps so much to make your pocket super deep or have crazy hold. those things change your release and can make your stick harder to work with (also pro defenders are still gonna strip you with a good check regardless of how deep your stick is)

@user-td4gi3ho3h 9 жыл бұрын

Andrew Kibler That's completely inaccurate. Pocket depth in the MLL is regulated the same way as pocket depth at every other level of lacrosse.

How do you do all those spins when shooting?

@curlyfro97 10 жыл бұрын

the cradle takes majority in the top hand, much like when you are two hand cradling or one hand cradling. Your bottom is used for control, but you never want to use just your bottom hand, as I have found it makes your release time slower and your shot slower. What I sort of do is a little motor cycle kind of rev with my bottom, and I use mostly my top hand for the cradle. As for the wind up (spins when shooting) I normally do a quick snap of my wrists. Hope this helps!
