This summer, the lacrosse community had fun with the #LowAngleChallenge, where players like Kyle Harrison and Michelle Tumolo found a way to score with seemingly no angle with which to work.

It went viral, but it left some wondering who started this trend.

U.S. training team and Charlotte Hounds attackman Ryan Brown said the concept originated when he and Atlanta Blaze midfielder Deemer Class, who run their own RBDC Lacrosse shooting clinics, tried it out with the East Coast Dyes team while they were filming in August.

“It just kind of took off from there,” Brown said. “It’s crazy how much this has blown up.”

Brown has earned a reputation as one of the hardest time-and-room shooters — overhand or submarine — in the game. Here is how he gets it done.

The Low-Angle Shot

1. Eyes open, head on goal. Peak your head around to find the net. Then your body follows.

2. Set your shoulders. Don’t catch the ball with your body square to the goal. Your left shoulder should face the goal and your right shoulder should face away.

3. Back-foot drive. Set your weight on your back foot before catching the pass, so you can drive over your front foot to the net. Don’t transfer your weight. It’s a fluid all-in-one motion.

4. Hand movement. Drive your hands and follow through from right to left to bring your shoulders and hips through the motion. If you stop halfway, the ball will go high, because you didn’t connect your shoulder.
