Blocker reaction technique?
Does anyone know of a way to improve your blocker reactions since most of the goals scored on me are shot to my blocker side

Get a reaction ball and use it for both hands.Originally Posted by ksgoalie
It's funny, I find my blocker reaction to be far better than my glove side reaction. It's probably because my right arm is my dominant arm....that and I like to pretend my blocker is a shield and I go all Captain America on things that come my way :)
Honestly, your best bet is to make sure you are watching the puck all the way to, and through, contact with your blocker. Track the puck visually from the shooter's stick all the way to your blocker, and continue tracking it until it is wear you want it to go. Using that technique will quickly "teach" your muscles the correct movements and placements.
blocker side where???
my blocker is on my right hand

That's not what he's asking. He is asking where on your blocker side are you getting scored on mostly? Any spot giving you more trouble than others? High blocker, low blocker, between your arm and torso?
exactly, sorry for not clarifying
Pretty much any spot as long as it is shot in that area, more of the lower ones than the higher ones I'd say though
