if it need be, close this thread, im not too sure about the guidelines

[WKLAX]

What was the point of that??? sorry but that was just kind of random... An remember not to post if u think it will be closed...

[LaxBoy92]

It looks like you almost slip both times. Why do you shoot like that? It would be ten times faster to just shoot it regularly overhand. Does your coach yell at you for that? I know my coach would.

i dunno i just started out so id like to get the proper form down before i start practicing the wrong form and then having to go back and fix it later.. thats why i posted the thread

I'd go buy the video 'Mark Millon's Offensive Wizardry'. It has a very good demo of correct shooting form.

[NDKnights157]

alright thanks man

[Demus]

I think you wind up far more than necessary too. And you sort of start winding up low then convert to an overhand shot, which is pretty pointless. And yeah, the Mark Millon Video is really gd.

[drifter8027]

ya dude dont wind up so much. if you are gonna wind up that much even after people tell you not to, do it once and get laid out, and then next time do it but then do a quick tuck of the stick and go by him when the d-pole tries to lay you out and then do your shot wide open.....this will only work on players that suck though. i dunno why i added this actually i must be bored

What format is the video in, it doesnt play in firefox for me.

[WarriorLax9]

Why would we get mad? Just curious...

[NDKnights157]

because im new to the boards and dont really know the guidelines, wasnt sure if asking questions like this were against the guidelines or something

[Nicklax871]

Thats what I did yesterday and I am not scared to post this.

Well i watched it a few times and in my opinion it's not bad...there is no right way and wrong way as you will see as time goes on and you see more varieties of peoples styles and how they choose to throw the ball. However if you cant pick a spot on the net and hit it 8 times out of 10, you better change it up!

[tiplax]

just curious but, have you had your shot clocked when you shoot like that? if so what is?
because with all that winding up you should have a pretty fast shot

[LL71]

it looks odd, kinda like how when i throw a baseball wiht my right hand its good then I throw left and its all messed up. How long have you been playing? Do you practise alot?

[tribal803]

when you wind up twist your hips but keep your head looking at your target and make sure your left arm is almost totally straight (almost wrapping around your neck)

[AttackTC]

PRACTICE!!!!! that's all I got

[marflax33]

Well... umm... That isnt really good, because if you have that much time in a game to wind up, ill eat my socks. Just practice quick overhand shots, 3/4 shots on the run, and underhand shots. Those are the basic things to learn when shooting. Accuracy is usually more important than speed. Usually...

It does for me and im in FireFox

[Monzo]

It looks like you need to snap your wrists more. I could be wrong, but it looks like they stay stiff through your shot. I don't know...just make sure you get your hands up and out if you're going to take "time and room" shots like that.

[NDKnights157]

yeah im about to put up a goal in my backyard

something like this

im putting it up really soon so im gonna mess around with my shot alot so next year ill be alot better at shooting

[shoebag2000]

Your windup looks like you are going to shoot sidearm, but then you kinda go 3 quarters. Overall it looks kinda wierd, I would get your coach to help you work on it.

[Laxattack05]

Straighten out your arms. your tryin to push the ball too much. when you crank a shot, it should feel like your pulling the ball at the goal.

[MaKiMaKi13]

your wind up is way to long and your arms should be straight check insidelacrosse for the shooting form article

[LaxMaxVince]

You seem to use a lot of movement with your body. I guess thats ok, but it seems to take a long time. Attackies have to shoot fast.
