1. WRIST SHOT
This is one of the most important shoots on hockey. This shoot is precise and quicklly. The shovel is usually held, as for a pass. The feet are parallel to each other and the line that passes through them forms about 60 degrees with the line of fire. The shoulders are aligned with the feet and knees well bent so that the weight transfer is efficient. The pickup starts from a position that is a certain distance from the back foot. In ice hockey that position is usually great, because the lower friction allows it, but in hockey line is closer to the back foot.
2. SLAP SHOT
Impact shot is the most powerful shot in hockey. It has less accuracy than the sweep and, consequently, you have to work hard to make it an effective tool to score goals. The impact shot can be made right and left. We describe them for a right-handed person and they are symmetrical for a left-handed person.
We start with the shot on the right. The feet are parallel, with the left foot a little forward in order to favor the subsequent transfer of weight. The line that joins the feet and the line of shot form approximately 45 degrees. The shovel has to hold on more strongly than with other shots. The initial position of the shovel is between the height of the man and the hip; the weight at the beginning is on the back leg. When executing the shot, the blade goes down to the surface, where it makes contact about 2 centimeters from the pellet. The pill should be hit with the middle of the shovel or a little towards the heel. The transfer of weight goes from the back leg to the stick via the lower hand and to the front leg. As a consequence of this transfer, the stick is bent and, on recovering the form, transmits a very large force to the pellet. Finally, depending on the pellet, it comes out of the blade, the dolls rotate a bit and the shovel is attached to the target.
3. REVERSE SHOT
The shot does not have much power, but it is useful to score goals when you are close to the goal, especially if the goalkeeper is on the ground. It can also be used at medium distance if there are comrades ready to finish the rebound. The position of the body is like that of the right wrist shot. The knees are slightly bent and the hands are more separated than in the sweep shot, but not as low as they are in the impact shot. Regarding the transfer of weight, it exists, no doubt, but this shot is fundamentally a doll game. The initial position of the blade is flat and on the surface. Then make a short tour, the precise thing so that the dolls are placed in position to make a fast rotation just before hitting the pill. The spade hits the pill by cupping it with the heel. This, in conjunction with the doll game, causes the pellet to rise with a rotating movement on itself.
