Roller Hockey Slap Shots

Video Transcript

"All right. This shot, the slap shot, is something maybe not for the kids yet. You want to learn your wrist shot and snap shot and your backhand first. Then you can kind of develop the slap shot when you get older or get a little bit stronger. But if you're just starting out, older, and you want to learn how to take a slap shot, maybe I can help you out here. Basically, you're going to do the same as the wrist shot and snap shot, planting your feet and bending at your knees. Keep the ball right in the middle. All you're going to do is you're going to pull back, transferring all your weight into your back leg, and then you're going to follow through and direct it. You follow through with the stick and point to exactly where you want to shoot it at. And that's your typical slap shot. It doesn't have to be the most powerful thing, but a lot of defensemen use it."
