How exactly are you puckhandling? I have found that I tend to whiff less when I do the glove over technique a la turco. It seems to force more of the blade down on the ice as opposed to the traditional style. It takes some getting use to and is much easier to do with some gloves than others... however it's something that I have been working on and seems to have decreased my "whiffage." There are a couple good threads about it on here, I think they are under turco style or something to that effect. If nothing else it's worth a shot. Good luck with it!

Thanks all for the great advice. I would rank my puckhandling as "slightly below average". I want to try Turco style but never have enough ice time to give it a shot. I think it's 50% confidence too - I played tonight but didn't really have any oppys to play the puck, but I was confident all night and I felt if I had to I would probably NOT whifff. But everyone is right I need to focus on this part of my game whenever I get the opportunity. WIll try flip technique also.
