Outside-In vs. Inside-Out
Numbski,
As I understand it some call this playing "Outside-In" and it is a perfectly valid method though of course it has its disadvantages as well as its advantages. I used to play outside-in because frankly I scull backwards better than forwards but after working with keeks I decided to try playing inside-out and I have had immediate success, having to execute fewer lateral adjustments per attack.
I think the key is recognizing that playing inside-out doesn't mean being any farther back when the shot comes. Through timing and skating speed you can be at the optimal depth whether you "faded back" or "challenged out". From The Crease (FTC) had an interesting article about this a while back, I'll see if I can dig it up.
