In our Shooting Mechanics Clinic, we discuss how the most powerful launch from a horizontal position is at a 90° angle, according to NASA (and those guys landed a spaceship on the moon!). Learn the optimal launch angle for powerful shots, and tthe optimal biomechanics of a powerful kick. Understand how the knee acts as a fulcrum, with a desired 90-degree angle between the shin and thigh throughout the stroke path, maximizing power and precision. Learn about the relationship between range of motion and speed, and how to approach the shot with calibrated steps to control rotary momentum throughout the turning radius.
