Wait, did he just kiss that stick?!? It's a very detailed description of the slap shot, and very helpful. It's almost a little overwhelming managing all the details. I'll likely have to watch the video, practice with 50 shots, rinse and repeat for a few weeks before I really get it down. Any tips on how to fast-forward this? 🙂
Cool idea about remote coaching… very tempting.
Ha ha there I am! Really appreciate this analysis and these EXCELLENT corrections and tips! These will absolutely improve my shot and my game. I'm going to head back out to the garage and work on all of this right now! Fully appreciate it!
Thank U for making this tutorial free. I understand U need to earn a few dollars. However, in a world that no longer makes sense, it's such a beautiful distraction. Appreciate your skill & allowing us to learn our favourite pastime. Sending care from Australia.
Thanks for sharing this video. I love the attention to detail with respect to keeping it simple. You know you're a master of your craft when you can break it down like this. Personally, the clapper is the weakest of my shots. I need exactly this kind of coaching. In time I know I will improve my consistency. Thanks again!
Excellent tutorial thanks so much bro! I love your videos keep doing what your doing!
amazing tips, thanks a lot!
No CC available, too hard to read your lips 😆
Крутой мужик, молодчик🔨
Thanks for all the tips sooo helpful!!!
Shaun, do you write right or left handed? And in baseball, do you bat right or left?
Need to work on my off ice slap shots!
Great explanation! Thanks for sharing!
👍 👍 👍!!!
This guy teach us from zero to expert in hockey! thank you so much!
Sean really is the man
Such an unbelievably helpful video as a young female hockey player back then we never really practiced slapshots but being older now I would like to incorporate most powerful shot in and having never really practiced it this has helped so much
At position 3:30 you say "we wouldn't shoot our legs, then our arms; it's always the exact same time" then proceeds to showing exactly stepping into the shot with the right leg, then arms. You always lead with the opposing leg and each and every clip on the internet, including hockey, baseball etc. shows this natural motion.

I have 2 of these Ultrasonic sticks, best for the big slapper!
🏒👍
There was no slapshot in the late 40s when, as little more than a tyke, I started to play hockey. Moreover, I had one stick a year; if I broke it, I had to wait a year to get another stick. So even though I grew up in a hockey mecca, I had to use a wrist shot… always. Also, as I recall, Geoffrion, "the boomer" was the first to put his signature on the slapshot for the Habs.
The best video explaining the slap shot… very helpful!
I played street and roller hockey since I was 8, and was pretty decent. I took to ice when I was 14, and no one corrected and showed me what I was doing wrong on a slapshot on ice. I had completely wrong mechanics for a puck and could not lift it off the ice to save my life and looked and felt very awkward doing so. I could skate,pass, and wrist shoot well, but I really wish I had this video and guidance like this when transitioning to ice.
Wow. Great video.
You would shoot way better in rollerblades than in sneakers.
3:46 you are using your front foot to stabilize yourself while you take a shot. This is taking a lot of snap and quickness out of your shot. If you time your forward weight movement so that you hit the puck before your front foot hits the ground you will see that your shot is faster and your total time is quicker. You want to fall into the puck so that you don't take some of that power out of the shot by absorbing your weight transfer in that front foot. Zibanejad shoots with a front leg on the ice but he has no weight on the front leg when he is shooting.
If you are using a wooden stick would you need to reconsider your body position when making contact with the puck, or does it not matter so much? Obviously the wooden stick wont flex, but you would still get the benefit of the extra weight, is my assumption?
