Shooting left

[F3Z]

Ok im sure im not ht eonly one but sunday i joined in on a trainign day with my local team wolf pac and i loved every minute of it. During that time i realised i got a lot of work to do if i wanna start playing tourneys the main point is shooting "kack handed" as i cannot use the left side of bunkers atm. If i shoot out of the left side of a bunker im more likely to hit my own team mates (lukily i play up front so its unlikely anybody is on my team and ahead of me). Any tips on shooting left would be apprietiated.

Using a mirror and checking your tightness and working on swapping hands from right to left really easy. Don't do it the "i dont wann try" way by keeping the same hand on the trigger and just swapping shoulders. Work on trying to improve your shoulder and trigger finger swapping so you get a mirror of how well u shoot with your right.

Keep practising at home mate, you'll get there if u work hard!

F3Z. take a look around the tactics and techniques forum. theres absolutely loads of thread on this and similar topics. you will find plenty of tips in there.

what chris said is good, and also when you are watchin television. hold your marker with you, and just practice quickly getting in the position to shoot say roy cropper or someone.
see how fast you do it with the right, and how tight you are, and try improving.

its all about practice

take a look here. its one of the first posts in the technique forum, and it shows you some briliant tips, including both mine and chris's.
and coming from a now pro player, i would believe it

Yeah mate as the rest of the lads say its practice practice practice!

I used to be the same as were all of us am sure, I was lethal shootin from my left side (to my own team) but after many many many many many many many (you get the hint) hours of practice its second nature now!

Cheers for the advice guys. ill be practicing my ass off . Just one last thing i have been told by some other players that shooting left just switching shoulder is th ebest method and trying to go left handed actually hinders your advance in right handed playing. Is this true or merely speculations as you can tell im a bit clueless on this subject.

walking the trigger with ur off hand is really hard to learn
almost harder than learning to aim with ur off hand

As said before practice at home switching hands ,also on your next practice day play left handed for a a few games then suddenly before you know it you will be swapping the marker to your left hand with out thinking about it

Its does happen after a while just takes time and PRACTICE ,by the way wolf pack is a good team to train with .

the problem with using your left is
say you are playin on the left..
you have to lean further out to shoot to th midle..
its ok when you are shooting at someone directly in front of you
or further to your left

thats called wrapping round your bunker, its simple

just maked sure you shoot the fools in directly in front of you before you do it, its especially helpful before a game if you know a team does this, cos then u can shoot them all out easily
