What is a "wrist shot"?
A wrist shot is a type of hockey shot where the player uses the wrist to flick the puck toward the goal. The player holds the stick with both hands, and while keeping the puck close to the blade, they quickly snap their wrists to propel the puck with speed and accuracy. The wrist shot is often used for its quick release and ability to make accurate shots, especially when the player is in close range to the goal. It is a versatile shot that can be used for both powerful and precise attempts, making it a valuable skill for scoring in hockey.
