Curling Stone Slapshot

In ice hockey the slapshot is the hardest shot one can perform.   It has four stages which are executed in one fluid motion to make the puck fly into the net.   And as a consequence of the violent motion involved can be less accurate.  It also takes longer to execute; a player usually cannot take a slapshot while under any significant pressure from an opposing player because the opponent could easily interfere during the windup. 
 
The slapshot is most commonly used by a defenceman at the point, especially during a power play, although a forward will sometimes find an opportunity to use it. 
 
In case you've never seen a hockey slapshot made with a forty-pound granite curling stone turn-up the volume. 
 
It is recommended you not do this at home…
