I got a new composite stick about 3 weeks ago and as much as i love it, its harder to get off a good shot cause im so used to my wooden stick. Does anyone know how i can improve my shot?

Not much is different. The curve is new but its been working out better in making passes and recieving them and the length of the shaft is the same.Besides the weight and composition, what's different about the new stick? Different blade curve would make a difference, and so would the length of the shaft.
what curve did you have on your other stick? And your new one?
You want a better shot, start shooting a lead puck. Your wrists probably aren't strong enough to use the stick. You only gain benifits if you can bend the stick with your shot.
well the nash has a lower lie, although not by much. Check to see where you're getting wear on the bottom of the blade maybe the lie is too low for you so that you'd not getting good contact with the puck. If everything seems ok with that it might be the flex of the stick, my guess would be that if that is the case you got a stiffer stick and you need to get a whippier one.
Actually now that I think of it, you say your passes are better with it. Are you talking about passes along the ice or saucer passes? If you can get a better saucer pass then I don't see why you can't shoot. If it's hard and along the ice you might have an issue with the actual curve of the blade.
Thats not a bad idea, i might try that. BTW just to let everyone know... im a girlredlighthockey said:Or he could shoot off of his opposite leg and get some weight on the stick?
The lie's fine, and my compostie stick has more flex than my wooden stick. Passes along the ice. I cant saucer pass, ive been playing hockey for less than a year.

I don't think she meant anything about her abilities, just that the previous poster had written "he"btw it doesn't matter that you're a girl, I've seen some girls that can really shoot.

My shots have been getting a little better but i think im starting to realize that i get intimidated by goalies. No matter how hard i try i always end up hitting the goalie. If i shoot at the boards and can hit a target point or get close to it. Sometimes when i aim for a spot on an empty net i cant hit it and and forget about it if a goalies in there. Everyone tells me to look at where you want the puck to go and when i do that i still end up firing it right at the goalie. I need help!
