holy dump i hate those drills. they tell you to go down on every shot. so then you start to cheat. then game situation, you see the windup then the drill kicks in. you auto-butterfly. boom. top corner. has happened too many times.

I guess lemme know what cha think

By the way the mask is the itech 961 with the talladega nights picture on it from the professional German goalie. My mask was outa commission that day.

Is that Jamie Storr's camp at Toyota Sports Center? I think he had the Ricky Bobby paintjob on his 961.

When I was at TSC last week Storr was hanging out at the rink.

Its not his camp it was just one of his lessons. I help out at the camps though. Yeah the helmet was his teammates its not ricky bobby but the guy from walk hard.

As some of you may know I'm to the position, but here's my butterfly. I need to fix the stick and my glove. I think the problem is more that I just need a new glove. Sorry about the bad quality.

What length paddle is that? Looks like it is pushing your blocker out of position.

Measuring it on the lower side, from the top of the paddle to where the heal starts, about 25". It was the only size I could get. My dad had me buy the cheapest one just incase I didn't stick with the position of goalie.

Just try to get the stick more out infront of u and slant it so if the puck hits it it will come up to ur chest and u can cover it. Also try to bring ur arms in more so you dont have that whole between your arm and body. Looks good tho just keep at it

When I started butterfly I just had a hard time remembering to get my arms in so I just practiced a lot with the mind set of "head up, hands out, stick down, ram the elbows into the ribs" and I just kept saying that in my head whenever I was out by myself, with 1-2 shooters or at scrub etc.

And I would agree that a shorter paddle would be beneficial because even if you compensate by holding the stick on an angle so that it deflects pucks up into your chest, you will still need to be tight with your stick flat on the ice for 5 hole shots.

Here are some pics..not all butterfly but I was just playin around with my camera, yes my stance is werid but it works for me, I would love some critism though if possible, thank you

Quick vid of a B-fly save. Tried to go 5 hole.


btw, thats a butterfly, no 5 hole with a thighrise of 0. Yes, it can be done. 36" pads.

Glove is low cause puck is in my stomach and im reaching to grab it....still breaking the glove in.

obie35 I like to push my hands forward in my butterfly, it closes holes between your body and arms and it gives you more balance. if you keep your stick in front of you and on an angle every puck that hits it will either go into the corners or into your chest. does anyone think i'm right or wrong.

[magyarmo]

the only time i tend to butterfly is if the puck is below my waistline, or in close.
and in close, i butterfly tight to close all holes.

if a shot is low and from a reasonable distance i am active with my stick in dispersing any rebounds.

Yes, when you put your arms foward it cuts down the angle of the puck.
