wet mesh

[lexlax92819]

Ok so the past 2 days it snowed like crazy in beantown. So today i went to my local highschool field and luckly one part on the field was turf but wet turf. About 4 hours later i arrive and start to pratice. So i notice that my shootinng was off a little and my mesh was soaked and wet. Would a wet mesh kinda mess up ur shooting?

also would the goalie be able to stop my shots? The black dots are the places the ball goes. Or maybe i need to shot the ball more closer to the pipes.

water can make different pockets very whippy, especially soft mesh. when your mesh dries, it should be fine

yes water can make your pocket messed you should probably order some hard mesh from jima.

yes...wet mesh can make sticks become really whippy. i have a rain stick with 6D. i found it doesnt really get affect to much my moisture.

a goalie could save any shot on net. but it really depends on the positioning of you and him and whats going around the net

[laxmj1992]

we can not say if the shots would go in. there are wayy too many variables:
1) were you running while shooting
2) how fast was your shot
3) are you playing a good goalie
4) where were you when you shot them
5) were you shooting overhand, sidearm, underhand, etc.
6) was it a time and room shot?

I'm sure there are a lot more.

ok so i'm standing face to face to the goal. and i'm shooting 3/4. but theres like no goalie. but say the goalie is just a normal 8th grade goalie. And he's right in the middle.

how far away/how fast

[lexlax92819]

um about 15 yards out. 55 to 60 mph

[Bretmac]

hed stop most of them then you have to put them closer to the pipe or bounce them

[lexlax92819]

so if i can put them near the pipe more would he save them? or some?

[laxmj1992]

Where the ball ends up is only part of what goes into a good shot. Shooting from high-to-low, low-to-high, bouncing the shot, using a defender as a screen, etc. all go into what makes a shoot "good". Don't worry so much about hitting the top corner. shooting a hard bounce shot from high to low that goes in the goal will look much better than having a shot that would hit the upper corner but gets saved by the goalie.

[lexlax92819]

yeah i dont go for the top corners that much. i can hit them. i just cant put the ball near the pipes

If you shoot the ball the other direction the goalie can't save it.
