How to Improve Your Shot Speed This Off-Season (And Why It Matters)
A harder shot isn’t just about showing off—it’s about creating real scoring opportunities, breaking through goalies, and gaining confidence every time you release the puck. The good news? Shot speed is 100% trainable—and summer is the perfect time to do it.
In this post, we’re breaking down how to improve your shot power step-by-step—and how tools like Skateable Ice Tiles and the MySpeedz Radar Gun 2.0 can accelerate your results.
🏋️♂️ 1. Build Lower-Body and Core Strength
Your power comes from the ground up.
Legs and core generate the explosive force behind every shot. To build that power, focus on exercises like:
● Bulgarian split squats
● Romanian deadlifts
● Core twists and cable rotations
● Single-leg balance work
You don’t need a gym. A good pair of resistance bands and your body weight will go a long way.
🔁 2. Focus on Mechanics: Weight Transfer & Follow-Through
Perfect form is everything.
A technically sound shot—with proper weight transfer, knee bend, and follow-through—will outperform a rushed, muscle-only attempt.
Use video feedback to break down your movement. Are you transferring your weight fully? Finishing with a clean follow-through? Keeping your hands in front? These small details matter.
🎯 3. Track Your Progress with Consistent Feedback
Training without feedback is like shooting in the dark.
That’s where tools like the MySpeedz Radar Gun 2.0 come in. It gives you real-time MPH readouts and connects directly to your phone via the companion app—so you can see every gain, set targets, and stay motivated.
Shooting 55 MPH today? You’ll be gunning for 60+ next week.
