The “Just Kidding” move is very beneficial because it allows the player who is loaded up for a “Pull” or “Toe Drag” to fake one of those two moves. They can do this by starting them partially and then switching back to the other direction, while keeping the puck on the forehand and gaining speed. When practicing these moves, it is crucial that you begin the movement in the exact same way that you would when beginning a “Pull” or a “Toe Drag.” Lastly, do not forget to add the two weight transfers when executing the “Just Kidding,” so that you may gain getaway speed, rather than simply gliding through the movement.
