Stickhandling Series - Toe Drag with Attack Triangle
This is Drill #13 in the HockeyShot Stickhandling Series. Utilize your Attack Triangle with this fun and challenging drill. This drill will help you work on your toe drags. View the video and follow the techniques below.
For this toe drag drill, you will use the HockeyShot Attack Triangle Pro. Picture the blade of this tool as the blade of a defender. Begin this drill a little bit off center, with an extended reach on your forehand. Roll your top wrist so that the toe of the blade is pointed to the floor.
Be sure to keep your bottom hand loose, allowing the shaft of your stick to slide up while you pull the puck back toward the side of your body. Use a "J" shape motion and roll your top wrist so you can catch the puck with your blade in a square position on the floor.
- Flexible rolling action with your top wrist
- Keep your bottom hand loose on the shaft
- Use a "J" shape motion pattern
- Maintain controlled, fluent movement and feel the puck on the center of your blade
- Start slowly and progress faster once you feel comfortable with the stick handling action
