In this video from the SlingShot Shooting System we take a look at becoming the bow, how to really sling the puck for the best possible release. This is the first free week of our six-part series. The remaining weeks are inside the SlingShot Shooting System for Train 2.0+ members if you find this video helpful check out the full series.
Jason explains the revolutionary mechanics that top NHL shooters like Austin Matthews and Nathan MacKinnon use to unleash their shots. Just like in downhill skating, there's a hidden technique behind the most powerful shots—it's all about "Becoming the Bow."
In this first week, we focus on how to harness your body's natural mechanics to create a powerful stretch and release, much like drawing a bow and arrow.
We'll break down:
The secret mechanics used by elite NHL shooters.
The importance of preloading and becoming the bow.
Comparisons to other sports like golf and tennis to explain the stretch and release concept.
How to kill common shooting cues that may be holding you back.
Real-world examples from stars like Tiger Woods, and Roger Federer to highlight the same principles in action.
Throughout this video, we’ll show you step-by-step coaching drills to practice, emphasizing 100 reps of passes and shots while focusing on the stretch across your body. By the end of this video, you'll understand how to increase the power and precision of your shot without extra effort. Join us for this exciting 6-week journey into the Slingshot Shooting System, where we break down each step to help you take your game to the next level.
