Little Adjustments - Raimo Tuominen

[SlapshotWrangler 864]

CALGARY - Raimo Tuominen made it a point to work on his shot. As of writing this, he has found himself on the scoresheet more consistently this season compared to last season. Now that he has grown more confident in his shooting, Raimo has also been a lot more willing to rip more shots than he has in previous seasons in the VHL systems. One of the things that might be helping? A new tape job and a new stick flex. After using a 100 flex stick he decided to switch over to an 80 flex stick figuring that the reduced stiffness would help his shot.

 

“It’s been an adjustment but the Pro-Am definitely helped me get used to it. It was a bit awkward at first and I was worried that it was too flexy for me but I didn’t end up snapping any sticks. It was helpful having a lower flex because I was able to load my shot faster and get my shot off quicker than I usually do. I had a really difficult time trying to score last season so I was willing to try anything. It worked.”

 

I mentioned that he had a new tape job.

 

“Yup. Instead of going from heel to toe, I tape toe to heel.”

 

Yup. That’s it.
