In lacrosse, fake shots are used to confuse the goalie to think you are shooting in another place and then quickly shooting in a different place, usually the exact opposite so if the goalie did make a reaction they will have to go all the way back to catch your shot, without enough time to react.
For example if you're going to fake shot a beneficial way to do so is to shoot up in the right corner, pull back and shoot in the bottom right corner, usually with a bounce shot.
To fake a shot you get in a position to shoot, but once you would release the ball turn the stick almost like a cradle, pull back, and shoot again.
To bounce shot, it is fairly simple. When you have the ball and start going to goal, get ready to shoot (see earlier post) and shoot right in front of the goal so it bounces once, and then goes in. A bounce shot is helpful because it is hard for goalies to react to them, unlike a normal shot in the corner.
