"Stance" thread...

[jwoods24]

Hey, I know, and agree with all of the Official threads, feelers and all that other **** that clutters this BB, but I'd like to start a "stance" thread. So, if this isn't such a great idea, I honestly appoligize... Oh, and I did do a search to see if this already existed, and only found a "half/lazy stance" thread... which only asks who does it and why...

Well, I think it would be useful to see the pros and cons in our stances, and ultimately improve our games... I honeslty think this would be beneficial, but who knows now...
So, to start this off, heres my stance. Please offer "constructive critism..."

Kind of tricky camera angle but one of the things I noticed first was that you hands are a bit too far back. Bring those bad boys further out so they are in front of the plane of your pads. It will close holes, add a greater range of motion, and help you track the pucks into your gloves better.

i think it is a pretty good idea. it actually has meaning rather than all the other **** threads. ill start it off with your stance looks pretty solid all around to me. the few things that i would change would be that i would try to get my gloves out a little bit more. from the angle, it looks like your glove is sort of resting on your pads and behind them. If i were you, i would put it out forward a little more so than you would be less prone to freeze up when a shot comes. I think it would just be a little easier to move if it is out further. the other thing, although it is not very bad at all , the toe of your blade looks as though it is off the ice a little bit. If i were you, i would bring my blocker very slightly higher and forward, and try to get the toe of the blade on the ice. Overall nice stance, not to much to change to it

Okay idea, but probably the wrong forum.

You look tense in that picture. Are you set up for a face off or something?

Thanks guys, Ive actually caught mysaelf with my glove positioning, but that confirms it, that will be my focus. Thanks. Oh as for looking tense, thats warmup, point shots i think? What forum should this be in? Now everybody else, lets see those stances...

When you develop a nasty lil rash with many other symptoms do you ask your buddy what it could be or do you go to the doctor?

A pose picture isn'treally accurate as to how your real stance is.

Looks like one of your buckles is undone...is that on purpose?

Whos the doctor...?
and as for xfactors stance, looks nice. Personally, Id make my glove more square to ther shooter, but if thats how your comfirtable, and if it works, then great, nice stance..

mr_b, speaking of stances, I think the stance in your avatar is as perfect as it gets.

tell roddy to get tested. he probably picked up something from handling Atkinson's gear a couple months back. the c/a obviously is infected with the clap and i bet the pads have the hiv.

Knew I should have drawn the line in something a little more concrete than sand...
