air hockey tip 3

July 24th, 2007

• Gain control of the puck before you take a shot. Shots are often hit out of “drifts”,
where the puck travels in set patterns designed to throw off your opponent’s expectations and timing.
 The most popular drifts are the “center”, “diamond”, “diagonal”, and “L”. After establishing your drift,
 set up your shots like you would set up a shot in a game of pool - take your time,
figure out where you want to shoot, aim and fire!
