- 4 keys to have a more powerful snap shot that you can implement today!
I breakdown how to take a snap shot and then show you 4 mistakes I see players make with their snap shots so you can avoid them. At the end, I also provide a few drills and exercises you can use to develop a harder snap shot.
I've never had the best snap shot, but more recently I've used the tips discussed in this video to really improve my shot and I'm hoping I can help you add at least a few M.P.H. to your shot too!

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 donât know why I ever watch anyone elseâs channel. You guys rock!
Pulling the top hand in and down đź I wish someone had told me that sooner. That downward pull adds sooo much snap. Thank you! Feels like a lightbulb moment.
It was at this very moment, I truly realized, that I am the muffin man :(
Seriously. It took me literally years to figure this out myself. All these shooting tutorials and so few of them emphasise this.
Thatâs because coaches didnât have you tube at the time
Wow sir we can lerarn many things from you thanks for any thingâ€ïž
Awesome gonna try this in Maui playing in-line hockey đđ€đŒ
The explanations how the exercises contribute to the shooting are incredibly good.
This is an excellent video! I'm definitely guilty of focusing mostly on my bottom hand and making sure I'm getting maximum flex on the stick rather than what my top hand is doing. Also you're right at the end of the video, your programs are great! The Mens League Domination program is excellent, I put on quite a few pounds of muscle by sticking to it over covid, honestly it made a big difference. Cheers!
Thanks Brad... glad you're enjoying the training program đȘđ»
Agreed Brad... I feel like flex is the tough part to get the feel across to a younger player. This is a great snapper video.
same man, this video was gold
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
Best video Iâve seen on this. I remember searching for this video 9 years ago and there wasnât much info out there. Thanks lots!
Great vid! Lots of info jammed in there. Iâve watched it twice and have it saved for my return to the ice after a broken finger. Canât wait!!!
Iâm 58 and my next season will be my 4th year AND IâM JUST GETTING STARTED!!!
Glad it helped!
Thanks!! One of the best snap shot videos I've ever seen!!! We always have something to improve, and for me, I wanna master the snap, and those tips will help a lot.
this is one of the best technique tips i've ever seen. been playing for 30 years and have a good shot, but the top hand tip is next level. you can actually ease up a bit on bottom hand power and think about accuracy and still get major heat but with greater accuracy. brilliant.
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 đŻđŻ
I really like the decomposition of the technique in different exercises
I love how you started with an overview. Good info, well organized.
The top hand emphasis tip really helped
Glad it helped... it was a game changer for me too!
Dude, that one was tremendous!
It is the best video on the matter I have ever seen!
Really sharp and prompt!
Respect đđ»
Thanks, glad you liked it đđ»
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 wasnât bringing that top hand back towards me while shooting but thx to this vid Iâm going to start doing that
Excellent breakdown of snapshot! You offer great insight for proper technique and show great video angles.
Wow I never seen a video so detailed about the wrist shots and snap shots before. Good stuff thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video. Thank you so much!
Do you think you could do a similar one on the wrist shot?
Great video... love the break down.
Fantastic training videos. Love all your post-production FX and video examples. Great, quick paced, explanation. Awesome work!
Thanks Doctor!
Absolute beauty of an explanation. Cheers
Very detailed and well explained.
Another sick video! This will help!
This is a great comprehensive video. Thanks for the upload, new subscriber.
Awesome advice!!! I was trying to figure out how to generate more power with technique but couldnât figure out what I was doing wrong.
What a amazing video man! Thanks 100 times đ
Very well done â
First of all; I have no idea how I missed this video - my alert notification was on but I had to reset it to "all" notifications. Anyways, on point as usual. You don't click-bait and so educational as well. Thanks for your effort and content man - underrated hockey channel for those wanting to learn! Maybe a recommendation for your next video (more for the kids) is how to get their slapshot harder, and how to raise that puck when taking that slapshot...very low chance to actually work in a game format but, who doesn't dream about a clapper top shelf goal?!!
Appreciate the kind words and great recommendation!
WHY DIDNT I KNOW ABOUT THIS CHANNEL EARLIERđ
This is a great video and it helped me out
Great video!
Great video, I use a snap shot 95% of the time. Just a great way to get off a quick shot in stride.
awesome!! Thank you.
I wish there was videos like this 15+ years ago đ
Man i wish i had videos like this when i was starting to play in the 80s.
Love the vids
Great vid
Great explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Focusing on the top hand during a shot is a game changer, at least for a hockey newbie like myself
That is very helpful
What's the speed of your slap shot and wrist shot?
Excellent, love the exercise tips as well
finally the video i needed, no more muffins for me
You should make a video on the wrist shot.
this is a good video
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 đ
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.
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.
great video, but as usual)))))) could you clarify, please, how often should I do it these workout (1 per week, 2 per week etc...)? thank' s a lot
It will depend on the programming. Sign up for a program at www.hockeytraining.com/program
As others noted, this is the best snap shot training video Iâve 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!
Thanks, glad it helped! And I used to go more towards the middle, but I've been trying to shoot a bit more off my toe lately as I find I get off a better shot when it's a bit closer to the toe. I'd have to analyze more video to really see where it's coming off.
@@hockeytrainingis there a follow up video where you analyze this? If toe or middle? Also what curve are u using? And does that impact where you position the puck?
Great video for showing all the things to do with a great snapshot and great work out to do
Nice video
Very useful for my 7 years old boy. Thanks for the tips! Keep the good work! Do you organize hockey camps in Europe?
Not yet. Possibly in the future!
Thanks :-)
The technique pointers are great! Itâs 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.
Check out our past video, we have a lot on the topic. Also much more on our website too.
Can we get one for goalies?
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.
We have lots of bodyweight only training in our app Hockey Training TV
Hey, at 5:58 ... what's the name of that band system you have? Looks like a rail and such? Looks legit, would like to buy one.
Ancore cable system (use the code HOCKEY for 10% OFF)
@@hockeytraining Perfect, thank you Sir!
Hey coach do you know why sometimes to puck flips when I shoot because I feel like when that happens it loses power
It could be where the puck leaves your blade depending on your curve or when you pull the puck in to shoot it could be coming in not flat and causing it to flip when you make contact. I'd have to see a video!
Iâve 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 secret is hard work
I'm curious, what flex do you use?
85 flex
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
It may be your curve and where you're making contact with the puck on the blade.
Can the shooting drills on sport shoes transferable to the skills on ice? I found the feeling is quite different as the skates on ice are not stable enough to gain the power from the feet to upper body. Thanks for the video, would try it anyway as ice time here is too expensive.
It's a little different, but if you aren't stable on the ice I would suggest working on your ankle and hip stability. You should feel very stable on the ice when gliding.
Great video but first at all you need more flexibile Stick and get power from stick let stick do work đ
Iâm 12 years old and i need to get better cardio do you have any workouts and reps
That's what we do! Check out our app "Hockey Training TV"
Someone really likes Toronto
I'm a Leafs fan... but how could anyone not admire Matthews' shot
đ
i dont really use a "wrist shot" anymore, I will pull it back like a wrist shot but snap it like a snapshot
toe drag release
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,...
Since my daughter won't really listen to me I hope she listens to you lol
Is it supposed To feel awkward shooting with your hands out in front at first
Changing your habits will always feel a little awkward at first, but, that's what practice is for. You'll get it soon and be better because of it đ
@@hockeytraining thanks coach
I live in Philly and grew up here so, GO BIRDS!
Why can I shoot better on tiles but I lose balance when i snapshot on the ice.
Most important part of this video in three words
Shift
Your
Weight
kind of late i do 15 pullups
Trade Marner for Kessel
Marner is nasty
3:05 Just use a 5 meter stick. Quick maths x)
4:17
Me as a bantam AA knowing I already do all of these đđđđđ
Humble too lolđ
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
Step one:
Donât have tennis elbow đ„
My arm hurts
Think the terminology for this has been changed to a wrist shot. The old âwristâ shot is now a drag shot.
Bobbie vanetta
Dude looks like draisaitl
Toe drag
This video makes everyone else on CZcams look stupidđ
isnât it a slap shot
completely wrong. like and subscribe
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.
