Hey everyone! Today I want to break down 5 easy ways to help you shoot a lacrosse ball better and faster. These tips include:
1. Holding the lacrosse stick looser - when you grip the lacrosse stick too tight, you don't generate a lot of power. That's because your wrist joints get tight and you lose flexibility.
2. Bringing your hands further back on the lacrosse stick - a lacrosse shot is like a lever. The longer the lever is, the more leverage it has. Same thing in lacrosse. Keep your hands back.
3. Developing a strong core - your core is critical in your lacrosse shot. This includes your legs, back and abs. Planks are a super easy way to develop a stronger core.
4. Picking the right release point for your lacrosse shot - this is the angle in which you shoot. I like to think of a lacrosse shot like a clock, and the best way to angle your stick is pointing it at 1:30 on a clock, or a three quarters release.
5. Following through after you shoot the lacrosse ball - you should shoot the ball so hard that your back faces the cage because you're completely turned around.
+ 3 Bonus Tips for a faster lacrosse shot!
1. The form of a lacrosse shot is similar to a baseball swing or golf swing. Study the form of other great baseball players and golfers to help you with your shot.
2. Everyone has a different shooting form. Don't stress too much if yours isn't exactly like someone else's.
3. Film yourself with a tripod and a smartphone. This is the easiest way to see if you're doing things right without a coach around.

The issue is it requires expensive sticks and whatnot compared to other sports you just need a ball and some friends

How dont you have 1 million subs, your content is great
After trying these I went to shoot and my shot is feeling a lot faster. Thanks for this
The addition thing is you have to get in reps the move you practice the better. When doing shooting practice move the goal to a place where there is some kind of a back stop. If you have to chase the ball after each shoot you miss you will stop going all out on the shoot and follow thru.
Thanks you so much I have been doing crutches as my core work out but I’m going to try core out
Thanks for the great videos Jake
Wow I’m from Pennsylvania and you have all penn states clips but thanks for the tips they helped me out

Thx so much
YES
I’ve just recently got into the sport and is learning how to play and this helps me a lot. I’m a sophomore grinding to make it to my school team in the spring. If you have any tips comment down below pls
I just had my first lacrosse practice yesterday as a freshman in highschool and although I think I did decent for my first day the sport seems so fun and worth the learning curve

Nice! I would recommend working at home on stick skills, and work on learning how to dodge bc it’s different than you may think at first, practice the drill by pushing off your feet and working on explosive force

Yes
legs are the power, wrists are the precision and they both effect each other, its one long chain of cause and effect thru your whole body
Great overall, but on the topic of core, medicine balls are the way to go with lacrosse! They train to start the power in the legs and transfer some it to the core, and get that rotational power developed.
Yup
Great vdeo. Thank u

Lax Weekly could you make a video on how to get over getting hit on gbs. I have just started lacrosse this school year and made our junior varsity team. My stick skills are in good condition but whenever there is a ground ball between me and a big defender (I’m only 5”1) I tend to shy away from contact and I get so mad at myself and I want to get over it. If you can’t make a video could you at least give a tip? I know your schedule is busy. Thanks!

Just started playing and I’m having trouble holding onto the ball right before shooting on the run. Any tips?

cradle more and harder to sink the ball deep, also make sure your shooting strings are tight enough to hold the ball in your pocket with enough whip

When ever you are running always carry your stick and a ball in your stick. soon you will stop thinking about the ball but you will be one with the ball. the other tip is when playing catch move. even if it is a step or two.

hi
I don't think static plank excercises will help you much, sure it's a start but going for some rotational excercises will be much better.
Some of these tips A1 coach’s don’t say thank you for the help

quick release and accuracy is more important than a fast ball!
Good vid but planks are actually not that great for training your core bc its a static hold, 3/10 exercise
Everyshot in the vid was lefty
Idk why but it bothered me that like all of the shots were left handed

why not show clips of what you're talking about when you talking about it? "Best arm positions is 1:30" then on the video you have a guy shooing a low side-arm bouncer
