Accordingly, how do you increase wrist shot power in NHL 18?
Wrist Shot Power - To gain wrist shot power you have to "Wind up" the shot. You do this by pulling the puck all the way to your forehand or back hand (Move the stick completely left or right) before flicking the stick forward. Deking - perform dekes. Easiest is to hit L1 and left stick direction.
Similarly, how do you make a wrist shot? For the wrist shot, move your lower hand halfway down the shaft to add power to the shot. Position your body at a 45-degree angle to the net. Bring the puck behind or even with your back leg lowering your shoulder as you reach back and down with your stick to position the puck.

How do you flex a stick when shooting?
Hold the shaft of the stick away from your body, and be sure it's in front of the blade. When you are moving the puck, you will be building up pressure and flex on your stick. There will be some resistance as you move the stick and the puck, but it's a good thing. There may be bending.
