Reverse Shot

The Reverse Shot is a high percentage shot when you are right in front of the goalie. Getting a shot right in front of the goal is great, but if the goalie is in position it can be hard to get your shot around him. First I want to look at the mechanics of shooting. Its pretty basic in that if your player is right handed and the puck is to your right, then you shoot a forehand. If the puck is to the left, then a backhand. To set up this shot, you have to approach from the side of the goal. Lets say you are coming in from the left side of the goal. As you are approaching the goalie, deke the puck out to the right. Hold the deke, and push back on the left stick. Youll notice while your holding a deke, you can use the left stick to rotate your player around, so by pressing back on the stick, you turn your player in a clockwise manner. The objective here is to take a backhand shot, and to do that you need the puck to be on the left side of you in respect to the goalie. When you rotate your player enough so that the puck is to the left of your body, then take the shot. The goalie will be out of position, and the backhand shot will go in. Confused? Watch the video.
