Your favorite or Most effective shot

[CTlaxHead]

A lot of highschool coaches encourage over hand shooting. But for me there is a time and place for everything.

Our school plays a big 1.3.2 offensive set. So i like dodging parellel to the goal.


This is the reason I shoot more of a 3/4 overhand shot. I can more effectivley place an offside hip shot that way.

How about you guys? Anyone preffer underhand, or sidearm?

CTlaxHead where are u from in CT? and i also do the same thing i play lyk kyle harrisan and jay jalbert

really weird i like shooting side arm from the left of goal. like literally 2 feet in font of the goal but about 7 or 8 meres to the side. its really weird in anopn goal i can hit the inside of the post nearly every time. its just my best shooting angle. Unfortunately it has next to no practical application in a game as the goalie is in the way! its weird

i the 3/4 shot cuz its the easier shot to place anywhere and my fastest shot

underhand from way out i shoot for bottem left it scores so much

[GBaschski]

3/4 shot is just what I naturally shoot, and it's where my fastest AND most accurate shot comes from (probably because I practice it the most). I don't think I EVER shoot perfectly overhand, and rarely sidearm, but underhand is a favorite of mine.
3/4 and underhand seem to do the job in every situation for me.

Hey, I play on the Brookfield Varsity team. In the summer, I play on the Joel Barlow/New Fairfield Select team.
Maybe I'll be seeing you in some future games.
What grade are you in?

Underhand wormburner/low to high with a screen. Nasty shot. Goalies hate me.

i usually shoot 3/4, always aim for off-stick side hip or or opposite corner. when cutting to the crease if you get a pass late, behind-the-backs are pretty fun, people get amazed at such a simple shot

[laxman 9990]

sidearm bounce off-hip

[pequalax3]

i usuall use a 3/4 over hand shot on the run with like the climb the ladder thing at the end with both hands. i can hit bottom corners pretty easy on the run.
on time-and-room shots i usualy shoot side arm

[regulate34]

i like side arm bounce shots that cross the net

[spenny]

Underhand wormburner/low to high with a screen. Nasty shot. Goalies hate me.

i can vouch for that. :grin:

i have a 3/4 shot as well, but that's from years of carrying a long pole up and down the field. overhand will develop the most power and speed, but assuming you can correctly do the shot, each one has its its place.

garbage can all the way

the side arm snipe in the corners
