How to use Apply Impulse to get part to travel exactly where the mouse is

I am making a hockey game, and I when I shoot the puck it goes either along the floor or too high. Sometimes it’ll go in the wrong direction, I am trying to get the puck to go almost directly where the mouse is located, but without it going way too fast. Any ideas?

HitEvent:FireServer(Stick, Mouse.Hit.Position * Vector3.new(1,2,1))

local HitEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.PuckHitEvent

HitEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Stick, MousePosition)
	if Stick:FindFirstChild('PuckWeld') then
		local Puck = Stick.Puck
		local Direction = MousePosition - Puck.Position
		local Distance = math.min(Direction.Magnitude, 20)
		local Force = Direction.Unit * Distance
		Puck.Parent = workspace
		Stick.PuckWeld:Destroy()
		Puck:ApplyImpulse(Force)
		Stick.HitSound:Play()		
	end
end)

Code ^^^

Edit: I know now that multiplying the Y axis is what causing the problem in the video, although, I’m still wondering the method of making a more linear path towards the players mouse when using apply impulse (without increasing the force)
