𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽 – When skating in a straight line while keeping and carrying the puck in a prepared/loaded shot release position, having an elevated grip arm elbow and maintaining a low center of gravity (posture), can help to expand the space (gap) required for the grip (top) hand range of motion needed to control, pass or shoot the puck.
