Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 5145604, member: 4"] I am wondering about Ashlynn’s shot mechanics. It seems to my inexpert eye that her shot is usually rather flat but when she‘s in the rhythm of the offense, the shot goes in, as though the shot was softer. After the ND game, I felt Ash took some unfounded criticism for her scoring as she was looking to score but her shots flattened out even more and were more like line drive fastballs than her usual shot. I’m guessing she was a bit nervous? My questions: [LIST=1] [*]Am I totally wrong on this re: the flat shots? I’m certainly no expert. Maybe I’m missing something. [*]Do Ash’s shooting mechanics change when she gets tight? If so, does it get corrected by just playing these games and letting her figure it out? [/LIST] I think the criticism of Ash is unfortunate because she’s still a young player, only a sophomore, and she had never played at Purcell Arena, a perfect example of a hostile environment. She’s done so many things right, and so consistently, that I’m not as disappointed with her missing a few shots as other fans. She’s usually mentally tough so if the issue is a mental approach one and not a mechanics one, I have every confidence Ash will figure it out [/QUOTE]
