I created this drill out of reverse psychology. I developed my left hand much later in my career. The drill was designed so I can isolate my arms to get a feel for what muscles I’m triggering when I release my shot. Now it’s helped me rediscover my overhand motion with my right hand.
I realized that I control my accuracy a lot with my arms and my shoulders. Despite my right hand having more speed in terms of miles-per- hour on my shot, the most important thing for me is scoring on a more frequent basis on a goalie.
Goalies can anticipate shots when you aim low or take that big step with your body. If you can hide your shoulder location with your front elbow, it gives you that split-second advantage. There’s no giveaway.
I use a lot of legs and lower body and a ton of wrist when I shoot. I wanted to eliminate those variables and create consistency in both shooting motions.

The diffi culty in shooting overhand is being able to snap the ball low. A lot of times with your dominant hand, it moves so quickly through the shooting space by your ear that the ball releases high.
