Is hand position important when shooting?

Hand Positioning

Hand positioning is important for a backhand. If your hands are too close together, you will have less control and less power. If they are too far apart, you will have less control and will probably end up shooting the puck over the net. Ideally, you want to keep your hands a comfortable length apart and maybe even lower your bottom hand a little to increase your control.
