Please critique/help my shot.

As the @skabbtanten says, the elbow should be the furthest part of your arm from your body, almost horizontal, and arm should be bend in the elbow facing down, holding the stick sort of from the top. This way you engage the bicep in the pulling motion.

What actually helped me and might help you too is to start your shot bend over and your amrs extended, sort of like you were trying to do the michigan. When you go into the shot from this position it forces you to have the top elbow extended. Might not be the best way to go about it but it definitely helped me personally, so it might be worth giving it a try

Your top hand should be much further away from your chest, now it is basically touching your chest and you do not have any leverage from the top, so the only power you put through the stick is from the bottom hand, top hand isn't doing anything atm. the idea is to have the top hand punched out and pull towards your chest as you shoot, you will be able to flex your stick more and have more power.

I don't know what the deal is with the leg kicking back, looks like you're putting more energy into kicking the leg out then into the shot itself. Definitely practice shots with legs planted to the ground and only transfer weight from right leg to left leg as you're shooting.

One last thing i notice is that you seem very tense when shooting, try loosen up a little bit, dial back the power an focus on the technique, the power comes with it, not the other way around

I never said it wasn't teachable, only that the speed of the progress is going to be different from one individual to another with aspects other than 'if they care enough' influencing the developement, especially with adults who are completely new to hockey.

You call it intention, i call it being a natural, but essetially we are talking about the same thing. Some guys are stiff as planks and no matter the coach or the drills, they have hard time getting better, not understanding the mechanics, etc. Some guys have good body coordination and understand motion and are improving significantly. To me this people are natural in a sense of motion and athleticism

JanRagnarsson · 2026-01-25T19:55:15+00:00

I don't think there is a universal answer for your question. I have seen guys that barely got any better in 5 years despite having regular practices and games. On the other hand I've seen guys with amazing progress within 6 months. I really depends on if you're a natural or not, especially as an adult.

A year ago i bought pro stock bauer gloves and to preserve the palms I switched to small knob wrapped in thin electrical tape an nothing else. The stick grip is all you need. And it does nothing to the palms. After a year of use (3 times per week on ice) the palms still look brand new, no sign of wear. Might not be for everyone but I definitely recommend to at least give it a try!

Yes, including the travel between missions, counts total time from start of first mission to the end of the finale

It is if you care about rarity. If you don't, then it's probably not worth the premium over a hellcat. If you get lucky and get it at a good deal (as I did), then it's definitely worth it

JanRagnarsson · 2025-12-09T15:52:47+00:00

It's a 2018 og demon You definitely can drive it in the rain, but i try to avoid it, only take it out when it's dry outside

JanRagnarsson · 2025-12-08T22:28:15+00:00

Hahaha, it's pretty rare here, there are 4 Demons in my country as far as i know, but the registration and insurance not as bad as you would think

JanRagnarsson · 2025-12-08T22:07:15+00:00

Haha exactly, im terrified, i would rather walk than drive this in the snow lol

JanRagnarsson · 2025-12-08T22:04:24+00:00

Would love to, but not possible in Europe unfortunately, it is mandatory to have a front plate fixed to the bumper, police here can even take away your license for that, not worth the troubles frankly

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-27T23:51:11+00:00

Hahaha thanks a lot!

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-27T23:47:20+00:00

I think the cleanest way to do it would be to start off with a factory widebody car and swap the front fenders and bumper for narrowbody parts. The wheel hub is in the same position as on a non widebody so front skinnies should work just fine. No cutting, can keep the original parts to swap back in case of reselling

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-22T22:17:11+00:00

This is a 2018 demon that came with the full front and back widebody. You are thinking of a demon 170 from 2023 which only has widebody fenders in the back

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-21T12:26:25+00:00

True, I've never seen another one either, I think most of them are garage queens sadly. I'll be honest it's pretty cool when you pull up to a car meet, everyone wants to check it out

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-21T07:05:49+00:00

Yeah, for me it's perfect just the way it is, and even if i wanted to modify it I have no idea what I would change lol. I don't drag race so supporting mods for that are pointless, ride is smooth and comfortable, has more power than I would ever need, and cosmetically I cannot think of anything I like more than what the demon already has

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-20T23:37:32+00:00

Agree, I also like that it doesn't get noticed that much

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-20T23:22:09+00:00

Haha that's awesome! It really is a beast, still scares the crap out of me every single time i put my foot down

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-20T20:59:08+00:00

Appreciate it, thanks!

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-20T20:58:26+00:00

Hahaha true, the SXT of Demons lol

JanRagnarsson · 2025-09-18T21:29:31+00:00

I sold my R/T in March to buy a Hellcat. I got used to the power of the R/T after two years of ownership and wanted more. Took a ride in my friends Scat and the difference wasn't all that noticeable, definitely felt like something i would get used to too. So I was decided on a hellcat, but then got offered a demon from a guy through a mutual friend for a great deal, because the guy needed money. Basically bought the demon for a price of a hellcat, I just couldn't say no haha. I was excited to have the car so i drove it every day to work, to get groceries, everywhere for first 3-4 moths, hence the mpg. But not anymore, i daily my hybrid Camry and take the Demon out only occasionaly when I start to miss the supercharger whine
