SolarWind 23 Report post Posted April 28, 2011 since I couldn't find anything specific on this topic here it goes:is there any way to increase carry over from off-ice shooting practice to on-ice? assuming that the technique & weight transfer is roughly the same in both cases?the reason I ask is because I've been shooting up to a 100 pucks a day for a couple of weeks now (set up a snipers edge in the basement), and can consistently pick corners, but on the ice - not so easy.could it be because on ice when on skates I'm ~ 2" higher? should I cut the stick 2" to compensate?Also why is accuracy so much higher after a quick 1-2 dribble (like Ovie in the video below) vs. just pick a puck from a pile & shoot?I recall a while ago Chadd was commenting on dribbling before shooting as a bad habit (there's not enough time time to do that under pressure), but how do you get around it?!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpUVJYJQ9dI&feature=player_detailpage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is why, IMO, the accuracy for the pros (and probably most people that play a lot) is higher with these small dribbles on a shooting pad while you're standing still. How often do you stand on the ice and just have a puck stationary in the wheelhouse during a game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
