How to Shoot a Lacrosse Ball

Спорт

Samir from The Lacrosse Network shows you one way to learn how to shoot a lacrosse ball. BEEF is a 4 letter acronym that helps you learn and understand the mechanics of shooting.
Balance
Eyes
Elbows
Footwork and follow through
Everyone has their own preferences when shooting and you'll learn that over time, the best way to become a great shooter is to spend time shooting and watching gametape of others shooting.

    A question no one ever covers when doing these videos. So before you shoot, it looks like a bottom hand cradle, I see every player that's good do what looks like a bottom hand cradle during their wind up.

    Try practicing on the wall - pass the ball against the wall and when you do make sure the head of your stick never goes lower than the but of your stick. If you do that, the ball can't fall out!

    It's your wind up. Basically do a "motor-cycle start" motion with your bottom hand, it's helpful for many reasons like keeping the ball in the pocket and overall looking badass.

    when your shooting you may be hanging your stick to low when winding up so when you are winding up try to make sure your stick is positioned higher in the air.

    I'm relatively new to lacrosse and I got a quick question: How come some people cradle with their lower hand on the stick when they are in the shooting position. When a person's stick is behind them, up in the air, almost behind them, and i see some players cradling with their bottom hand. Is it important you cradle with your lower hand?

  • @LaPomplemousse

    it just makes sure the ball is settled. if you cradle with ur top hand in shooting position you lose way too much power and end up in bad form
