speed or accuracy

[LongHornMiddie]

what do ya'll think is more important on a shot...speed or accuracy

[cloo24]

accuracy you can have the fastest shot i thw world but if you miss the net it's not gonna do anything for ya

[ohlordy11]

accuracy, as a goalie a well placed shot is much more dangerous than a fast one

[bigDman]

defently acruccy

[SSG31]

accuracy.....speaking as both a goalie and an attack

[laxbabe2121]

i'm gonan move this little heated debate into... not here. i think accuracy, but speed is SWEET. just to impress people and stuff with a radar gun. but yea, accuracy rules over.

[CaliLaxChica05]

accuracy, i have friends who have fast shots and always shoot at goal and miss.

Ellen, why dont you move this into the Women's General Lacrosse? I can do it if you want me to.

I would say accuracy, especially in women's lacrosse.

[WestSideLa X eR]

im a goalie, accuracy is more important close up,

but when your taking a shot from out, speed obvously does help

[BG Lacrosse]

Accuracy. I am brand new to the sport, and i could throw the ball as hard as I possible could and still miss the goal! Speed is some thing that should be worked on after the person developes an accurate shot.

[LongHornMiddie]

well i was just wondering cause when i'm stringing up my stick it's either really accurate but slow or a rocket that is a little inconsistant

[ques]

Accuracy first then start adding speed to your shot.

[MontclairLax]

ya, when ur young especially like me, practice accuracy because when u start to grow a lot u can practice ur speed

[keeps4life]

accuracy. if you can hit the corners of the cage you'll put it past the keeper every time

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

accuracy... 75% of my team can shoot faster than i can, but i'm still one of the high scorers on our team... as a middie. speed doesnt mean jack if you cant hit the cage or keep hittin the goalie.

[laxstar003]

accuracy definitely.. my shots not very hard but i'm the 2nd leading scorer on my team. it's all about the placement!

[laxgirl09]

hmmm im gonna have to go with both. when u get to higher levels of lacrosse, the goalies can save just about anything, so not only do u need accuracy, but you also need a little speed behind your shot

but im going to have to go with westside who said that close up accuracy is most important b/c u dont want to throw it right at the goalie

and from far away a nice hard shot is necessary b/c even if the placement isnt perfect you can catch the gaolie offguard and put it in

laxgirl, who do you play for?
