It depends on you, my man. If you think 95 is too stiff, maybe try 85

Good slow-mo explanation of the shot physics...even if the shot wasn't as impressive as most NHL'ers.

I have a pretty good slapper, but it's not a world beater. My advice is to take your time on the backswing, and DON'T overthink it.

Great post, like how that vid really shows the puck still rolling off the blade.
