DRILL #3

The final drill to do while trying to improve your slap shot it a one timer drill. A one timer is when you hit a moving puck without stopping to accept the pass its one smooth motion if done correctly. This drill is nice because you can do it with a partner by having them pass the puck to you and you shooting it right off the pass, or as shown in the image above you can get the shooting equipment which passes the puck back to you after you pass it to the device. This drill will take a lot of time to perfect.

DRILL #2

The second drill you can work on is one most teams use as a warm up, it is commonly known as the "Butterfly Drill". the player in the corner makes a pass (as shown) to the other player on the other side after you make the pass you skate up to the top of the circle and receive a pass from the other side. As you receive the pass if working on your slap shot it is best to take a shot from the top of the circle to work on getting a quick release off and it helps your goaltender out since you don't want to take a slap shot up close on him

DRILL #1

A great way to improve your slap shot is just to practice it, the easiest way to do this is to line up pucks in a straight line and do a "rapid fire" which is shooting one puck after another. While shooting make sure focus on your form in your shot and accuracy. I personally like to do this with a friend because you get a little break when you take turns and you can give each other tips for improvement. Always remember the more you practice the better your shot will get.
