Why Your Skating Looks Stiff (And How to Fix It)

Most hockey players don't know how to use the corkscrew or even know what it is. In this video, Downhill Skating System coach Spencer White shares his latest breakthrough (“Get Wide, Try to Move”), why it instantly made him smoother, and how you can apply it in your own skating.

We’ll study Connor McDavid’s forward stride and Connor Bedard’s corkscrew to see how NHL players use subtle hip mechanics to stay fluid, deceptive, and explosive. You’ll also learn the difference between block rotation vs counter-rotation, and why relaxed hips are the key to smooth mechanics.

Finally, he breaks down the reverse 10 and 2 what he struggled with, what improved, and the cues that helped him feel more comfortable on exits.

What you’ll take away from this video:

🔺The cue that unlocked smoother corkscrew movement.
🔺How to see hip rotation in NHL players (and apply it yourself).
🔺The role of heel pressure, shin angle, and posture in mechanics.
🔺Why relaxing your hips creates flow instead of stiffness.
🔺How to start experimenting with the reverse 10 and 2.

Mechanics aren’t just theory and at Train 2.0 were showing the hidden details that separate fluid, deceptive players from stiff, upright ones.
