This picture is taken just before I start to shoot. When you begin to take the shot most of your weight or power should be on your front leg, while taking the wrist shot you should move even more weight to your front leg, and push off with your back and front leg, thus putting more power and energy into your wrist shot.You can see my article and video for more info on the two types of wrist shots. There are two types of wrist shots, the method below shows you how to shoot from the off foot, you should practice both methods. Now that you have watched the How to take a wristshot video check out shooting from the “off foot” below, the points about weight transfer and stick flex are the same for both methods of the shot Wrist Shot From the Off Foot You get the most power if you transfer the weight to the foot furthest from the blade, so that is the technique I show below.

When shooting your top hand should be holding the top of the stick, and your lower hand should be no more than half way down your stick, many players hand position differs and your hand position will vary depending on different types of wrist shots (close to the net, cutting in, angle, etc.).This will give the puck a spin, and also allow you to aim where you want to shoot. While you are executing the wrist shot the puck will roll forwards toward the toe of your stick. In order to take a wrist shot the puck should be between the heel and middle of the blade.Location of Puck on the Blade of the Stick.You can raise a puck off of the ice without pulling the puck back, however pulling the puck back gives your wrist shot a lot more power. When taking a wrist shot the puck should be drawn back behind or even with your back leg (wherever you feel most comfortable), think of it as throwing a ball, in order to get more power, you want to pull it back so you can get a lot of power.This article will outline how to take a wrist shot in hockey, or if you already know how to take a wrist shot, it may provide you with some tips on how to improve your wrist shot.
