zenitkulmalla

Zenitkulmalla refers to a shooting technique in sports that involves extending the arm upward to release the shot in the highest possible trajectory. The term is most commonly associated with ice hockey, where it is used to launch the puck from the face-off circle to the opponent's goal.

This tactic relies on the speed and trajectory of a puck released from a symmetrical position above center ice to evade blocking attempts by defenders. By shooting upward, the player increases the angle of incidence, making it more difficult for goalkeepers to intercept the shot. However, it also reduces the coefficient of restitution, which can lower the shot's speed and accuracy.

In hockey, players may employ the zenitkulmalla technique during face-offs or following a rebound. Successful execution of the shot requires specific skills, including technique, timing, and hand placement. When done correctly, the shooter is likely to improve their chances of scoring by shooting a higher-angle shot that avoids the opponent's blockers.

It is worth noting that zenitkulmalla technique may be subject to rulebooks and regulatory bodies in various sports leagues to evaluate its compliance with rules or detrimental effects on gameplay. It is a controversial tactic and can result in offside infractions if not accurately performed, thus it's considered a subtle strategy that endanger more powerful tactics in professional hockey.
