How do you shoot? do you twist your hip like a golfer? or you keep your feet planted and swing your stick? help?

this is probably the funniest double entendre that i have ever heard! most likely unintentional, but hilarious nonetheless...

This belongs better in the Instruction forum, but this might help with the speed aspect...

Get your arms up, torque back your body, and then uncoil and follow with arms and wrists.

Not the best video, but all the basics of shooting are there.

Here are pictures of the proper shooting mechanics http://insidelacrosse.com/page.cfm?pagerid=2&news=fdetail&storyid=72080
Just remember a few important things:
-Keep your arms and elbows up
-Keep your arms out, semi extended and a little bit back behind you
-Keep your hands about 12 inches a part on your stick while shooting
-Put all your weight on your back leg and as you shoot explode forward
-Use/twist your hips and torso (body) to get extra power as you go through your shooting motion
-Drive your arms forward
-And have your arms (and stick) follow through after you shoot.

keep your stick parallel to the ground. Point your elbow to your target. Then swing your stick down like a tennis serve.
