Jesse Hubbard's favorite shot
July 27, 2003

My favorite type of shot is one that scores. Seriously though, I like to mix up my shots so that the goalie can't anticipate when or where I'm shooting. Having the full arsenal of shots with both hands--whether overhand, sidearm, or underhand--is the goal of any serious shooter.

That being said, my overhand shot is probably the most accurate and effective. An overhand shot that is aimed off the goalie's hip is very effective at every level. Don't necessarily aim for the utmost corner of the goal, because you won't have much room for error. Sidearm and underhand shots can be more effective at deceiving the goalie, but accuracy is usually sacrificed when you drop your top arm down.

Make sure you can consistently hit the cage before shooting sidearm or underhand in games. However you shoot, do it like you expect to score. Goalies can sense a hesitant shooter.
