Quintin 16 Report post Posted March 19, 2006 This is getting really frustrating. Everytime I get the puck and start stickhandling, the puck bounces EVERYWHERE and can't seem to keep it flat. Everybody else seems to keep it flat so the ice can't be an issue.I stickhandle at the middle of the blade, where the curve is. I usually cup the puck when stickhandling.Any suggestions?

All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2006 You talking about a rolling puck? If so that just takes some practice gettting it back to flat while skating. Yeah it sucks when that happens in a game you finaly get a brekout goin and then it starts rolling and you have to put your head down.Only suggestoin I can give you is practice it at practice, get it to start rolling and just learn to bring it down, then start skating and do it.

In other words, when the puck is on the front of your blade, your blade should be angled forward and vice versa.Also, blades with less curves are easier to stick handle with.

Bingo. If you stickhandle with your blade open, the puck will always go up. Keep your backhand flat too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
