P.T. Shooting System
The patented Puck Tutor Shooting System design has Three Systems designed to teach and develop Proper Mechanics for The Wrist and Backhand Shots, Slap Shot, and Snap Shot:
The VertX Hockey Training System for The Wrist and Back Hand Shots.
A Slap and Snap Shot Zone designed to teach proper mechanics for the Slap and Snap Shot; and The Art of Deception in Shooting!
The Arrowed Lines for the younger player placed in the center of the board.
The Shooting Systems are designed to teach Perfect Technique for the Perfect Shot with Laser-Like Accuracy!
The Tutorial Videos teach and break down Proper Shot Mechanics in a Step-by-Step format for the student to understand, train, and practice the mechanics of how to shoot while Shooting in Stride!
VertX Hockey Training System
The V.H.T.S is designed and engineered to place and teach a player at all levels into a proper athletic posture when shooting, i.e., the FWD Press Hockey Stance applied to The Wrist and Backhand Shots. The written text on the board educates the player to understand how to develop The Four Phases of the Wrist and Backhand Shot Mechanics:
1. Load Up Phase
2. Sweeping Phase (which is the Lateral Weight Transfer)
3. Release Point Phase
4. Trajectory Phase
Slap/Snap Shot Zone
The Art of Deception
- for the Slap and Snap Shots.
BWD Skating Slap Shot Motion
- The Arrowed Line running North/South is designed for all players, particularly defensive players, to practice how to pull the puck in and release the Slap Shot. If a player starts with the puck in the Stickhandling Pivot Zone, he or she can pull the puck in towards the middle of the feet (skates) to practice how to set up the motion.
The Impact Zone
- designed to teach and simulate the distance between where the stick impacts the ice behind the puck before the Moment of Inertia. All Step-by-Step mechanics of how to take a proper Slap Shot are built into improving a student’s understanding of the PENDULUM within developing a short, compact Take Away in the Load Phase; then the Biomechanics during the ‘downstroke’ into the Slot Line leading into the blade entering the Impact Zone.
Biomechanics Developed and Connected
Proper Posture
- spinal column (approximately 50-55 degrees) and knee bend angles (45-47degrees).
Proper Grip
- proper grip with top and bottom hands, angles to wrists of top and bottom hand; and develops a congruency between angle of top hand forearm and shaft of stick, as the shaft is (more often than not) an extension of top hand forearm.
‘The Motion of Hockey’
- in which the foundation is the Lateral Weight Transfer for proper athletic muscle memory and motions that are applied to Skating, Stickhandling, Shooting, Passing.
