i wont be an a-hole about this lol.
it helps a lot with confidence and dangles...i can undress d men now and i practiced this and tons of other stuff...all about bein confident with ur twig.
first thingn ur gunna do is wax your whole stick a ton before u tape it...from 6 inches on the bottom of the shaft down to the blade.
second thing is practice is on carpet...flex your stick with it like 6 inches from the ground, then flip it over. put it WAY up almost on the shaft of your stick.
once u get it on carpet, try it standing still on FRESH ICE. try it in warmups, dont try it at the end of the game. the ice wont cooperate, i bet half the guys in the show can't do it on choppy ice. its just plain hard.
k but HERES THE TRICK...you PULL IT TOWARDS YOU. like, u set it up like u would on carpet, but on the ice PULL IT TOWARDS YOU. watch all the videos of it, they all pull it towards them. set it up on the very end of the shaft/start of the blade and yank it toward you.
i can snipe like this on a breakaway, i can do it backhand, do the crosby thing on the commercial ((spin), spin it around and around, spin 360 degrees with it, and all kindsa other ****. its fun cuz its whacky.
i hope this helps, add me on msn at
[email protected] if you need anymore help man. it took me a few months to master but im a slow learner.
