This video provides coaching points on how to execute a backhand to forehand shot, a technique that involves quickly moving the puck from the backhand to the forehand before shooting.
Coaching Points:
-
Proper Hand Positioning: Start with your hands set correctly—top hand up and your blade cupped on the backhand. This helps ensure control when moving the puck.
-
Quick Transition: Smack the puck on your backhand and immediately transition it to your forehand for a quick release. Speed is essential in this technique to catch goalies off-guard.
-
Mechanics Practice: Begin by practicing this move while stationary with pucks lined up between your feet. Once you become comfortable, progress by adding skating and shooting in motion.
Working on this drill will enhance your ability to change the puck's direction quickly, making you a more deceptive shooter and harder for goalies to read.
