Spencer Wright:
Ryan, that's a very good question.

One of the key aspects that I'm sure a lot of the great shooters agree with, is the importance of bringing your hands back behind you as you begin your shooting motion. This allows you to generate big power, which equals high speed on outside shots.

What's difficult about this is becoming comfortable with your hands that far back, and the only way to get better at it is to practice. Shoot, shoot, shoot! Good luck!


See you at Rochester Rattlers' games this summer. And keep watching the Major League Lacrosse Game of the Week on ESPN2 on Tuesday's at 3:00 p.m.(Eastern).
