Your world frightens and confuses me
Because of COVID, I bought my boy a radar device to track the velocity of his shots as he practices on the driveway. One thing I noticed is that we all probably shoot the puck a lot slower than we originally thought.
The radar is consistent, so I can only presume that it is somewhat accurate. My top wrist shot speed (now, understand that I'm a broken down middle aged man) is in the top 40's mph. My top snap shot (with two bad knees I don't have a lot of stability so I don't do a full slap shot) was 53 mph from a standing position.
My son, who is eight years old, shoots a 25 - 36 mph wrist shot and a 48-51 mph slap shot (he hit 51 once, when he rang it off the post).
So, have any of you tried to "radar" your shots, and how hard does a typical eight year old actually shoot the puck?
