Figure 8 Stickhandling Tips
Figure 8 Stickhandling Tips
Struggling with figure 8 stickhandling?
Focus on these 3 things:
1. Slow it down
* Go as slow as you need to stay clean
* No panic touches
* Feel the puck on your blade
* Smooth > fast
2. Lead with your top hand
* Get it away from your body
* Top hand moves first
* Bottom hand just supports
* More reach = more control
3. Control the puck path
* Guide it in a clean curve around each object
* Don’t just tap it side to side
* Same path every rep
* If it looks messy, it is messy
Clean reps > fast reps
That’s when it actually starts to feel easy
