its hard to get a good slapper off of a whippy stick.

You might want to choke down a little bit on the shaft.. but its still not going to be as good as your stiffer stick.

Let the stick do the work, don't lean into the shot.

Actually, my slap shot greatly improved when I changed to a whippier stick. You can actually feel the stick snap when it hits the puck. I love it. Maybe it will just take a little getting used to it for you.

with my REG tps(95), my shot were shit.with XXX and SL shaft(85) my shot are AWSOME. with a Whip tps shaft my shot is SHIT...

Work on your slapshot motion. You often have to make an adjustment when you use a stick with more flex. Get your motion as smooth as you can and take a little less ice and it should improve. start at half speed to get the motion right and slowly add some speed until you find the sweet spot.

Swing slower. the shaft will kick just as much and more accurately.

[Gongshow11 1]

dont take as much ice

Not necessary a slower swing , use about the same speed but think softer and use more arms streangth rather than weight. Also you might want to try a half swing thats how i got use to my SL.

Same exact case with me. Went from a 100 flex to a 85-- shots greatly improved from more flex-- figured i would try a whip flex -- shots were crap again-- sometimes you find the perfect flex i guess.

ooo so like instead of using my body weight

just kinda slap at it like a golfball?

i went from a 110 to a 85, and now using an intermediate stick (i'm 6 ft tall, 190lbs) with a 75 flex... seems that everything is much better
