Okay, I'm probably a little dense on this, but when I see shooters follow through on their shots, the toe of their stick is usually many feet off the ice as part of the natural arc of their shot, pointing nowhere near the net. If my stick swings forward in front of my body during the latter part of a shot, the toe of my stick either points to the ceiling or, if I roll my wrists hard, the toe points off to the side of the net.
I guess I'm trying to improve my accuracy but don't really get how to 'follow through and point the toe of my stick' at the target. At what point in the arc of a snap or wrist shot does that pointing occur?
Also, to keep a shot low, folks say follow-through low. I guess when I try to do that it feels like it disrupts the arc of my shot, trying to keep the stick along the ice on the follow through cuts off or abbreviates the follow through. Is that what is really meant by 'low follow through'?
Thanks again!
