where should my stick be?

[lexlax92819]

OK so when i shoot i want to be facing the sideline. and where should my stick be? Should I just be holding it 6 inches away from my body and high. and having the stick parallel with me. or have the stick compeltely behind me? or something?

does anyone have a good video at where your stick should be when you are about to shoot.

ok so i shoot righty. should my right arm when i shoot become into 90 degrees like L? Because my left hand on the butt of the stick.

if you have comcast on demand,it is a digital cable network, then go to on demand and then sports and fitness, then sportskool, then lacrosse, the the midfield shooting thing.


if you do not have on demand, then go to sportskool.com and look around.:agree:

here ya go.
before you watch this though, ill give my little input, high and away and the longer you play, the farther back your hands will go. and you will learn sometime what you pre-shot routine will be let it be a qucik twirl or liek em a mini-cradle. anyway, here ya go.

hmm.....I'm not really sure on using numbers and distances as the best way to describe proper shooting posture. I'd say the general basics (for outside shots) would be body perpendicular to the goal, arms away from the body (not pressed against it), hands back (bottom hand should be around your shoulder thats furthest from the goal) and around shoulder height, with the the stick head behind your head.

When shooting, give your stick a small cradle to keep the ball set in the right spot in your pocket, step hard with your front foot, turn your core and shoulders to be square w/ the goal, and follow through (with force) either overhand or "3/4" on your shot.


That would be the basics, but things tend to change from person to person as they gain more experience and develop slightly different styles.

ya, also experiment with different shots, like a 3/4, a sidearm, and underhand, maybe a dip-n-dunk (a fake you do when your are right at the crease)

extended arms is key, then just like he said, experiment
