Backward C Cut Analysis By Laura Stamm Power Skating

Author: Coach Rox

Posted on: March 19, 2010

Summary

A video mini lesson covering the various techniques on the backward C-Cut. C-Cuts are best used when traveling at full speed going backward or in 1 on 1 situations as a defenseman. Backward crossovers are still best for acceleration and lateral movement. So the best way to do this is by performing 1 crossover to get your speed up, then going into the backward c-cuts.

Also the arm swing shown is used only in low pressure situations and when going for absolute maximum speed. When you are in a high pressure situation such as a 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 against you, you can do many things with your stick and might not be able to swing your arms.
