This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of handball shots in counterattack phase on high performance teams. For this, 10 matches played by the two World Cup finalists in 2015 Qatar (Qatar and France) were analyzed. The analysis was performed using an observational methodology, where different parameters related to the shot in handball were evaluated: Shot Model (type), distance, position / angle and phase within the counterattack (cycle match). The descriptive analysis of the results shows that there is a high effectiveness of shots carried out in the counterattack phase. Teams tend to make a greater number of shots during the counterattacks of the first part of the game. As for the characteristics of the shot during this phase, we must notice that takes place in the 1st wave, suspension shot, within short distance of the goal and especially from central areas of the field. These results have been discussed with similar studies.
