PHIL KESSEL THE BURGER BEAST!
When he says "if the goalie is good." bruh carey price is the best goalie ever.
Great vids
wait so how is that his wrong foot? i’ve always been taught that you want to transfer your weight for a snapshot on your foot closest to the stick (right foot for righties, left foot for lefties)
Good video
Kessle was a good guy why so much hate
isnipe
Pro tip: If you want an EASTON, and an 85, get an EASTON 100.
praise be!
Phil Kessel is a back to back Stanley cup champion 👌suck it
Just got iSnipe ^_^
Your osom
I don't like these vidos
I want to learn to eat like Kessel
Do you take this shot or the wrist shot more in a game?
Great video! Now I can take a hard shot in stride.
I think the reason this shot works, but is called the "wrong foot" by old-school coaches, is because when we grew up, with our woodie sticks, this kind of shot wouldn't work. We'd have ended up with a weak shot, or busted our stick. On a "right foot" shot, you get your whole body in motion and weight shift with the puck launch. This was a shot that uses the player's full body. This Kessel shot depends not on the players body to impart speed, but entirely the stick's flex. So what Kessel does is just throw his weight into the stick, storing energy, and then he lets the stick move the puck. The other great thing about this Kessel shot is allows him (a rightie) to shoot a LOT more to his right than a conventional shot would allow. Conventional shots where the player moves the puck depend on your body alignment, and are thus easier for goalies to read. This shot depends on where your stick is pointed when it unloads the stored energy.
Old school: player moves the puck
New school: player loads the stick, stick moves the puck
It takes about 27,000 shots to be able to get a decent repertoire of wrist, snap, and slap shots.
Plus, make 25 per cent of those shots with weighted pucks (the orange ones).
im 180 and i use 105 flex
There’s no technique all it is is his weight in cheeseburgas
What kind of stick does kessel have!! That flex though!!
Where do you get those gloves?
I think auston Matthews watched this
Who’s here when he is in Arizona
Nobody heard him say Kesley 1:27??
Can Phil ca
iv just started playing hockey, after skating loads as a kid but never being able to afford kit, i decided to play field hockey, (im from the uk) instead. i always shot off my "wrong" foot while running full speed, cant wait to try this at practice i think il find it much easier to shoot this way while shifting! nice one coach jezza!
Kessel uses a 65 flex or he did for a long time
love from India
I've practicing that shot for the first time in my life, I love the feeling of executing it! I have always love to play "D" that is the reason I never had the need of learning that shot. I am so glad I came across your amazing well explained video. I knew I was doing it all wrong:) Thank you for creating this awesome video. Now I will practice exactly how you tought me. Sincerely.
Andy Bathgate used to shoot off both legs: his "correct" leg and his "wrong" leg. He wrote about this in his book "Andy Bathgate's Hockey Secrets."
It’s funny because just trying this technique out gave me a massive improvement on my accuracy
Side tip for everyone: pick a couple of spots on the ice where you'll normally be. Then practice taking this shot (and picking a corner) from that spot till it becomes automatic/muscle-memory. After that, all you have do is focus getting to that spot with the puck (or from a pass)….after that, just let muscle memory trigger your 'autoshot' that you practiced a million times. Your only problem will be, you'll run out of cellies to cycle through! lol
Jeremy, I like the "short to the point" lesson.. and you don't go on saying the same thing like others. Anyone can always replay. Thanks man!
Body weight and stick flex are not related. Strength and flex are. If you're 120 lbs of pure muscle, you want a stiffer (higher) flex stick. If you're 240 lbs of flub, then you want a whippier (lower) flex stick. The flex of your stick comes from pressing it down into the ice with your arms (strength) … not by dropping your body weight onto your stick.
