Correction Drill #4:
Guide ball down onto point
Correction Drill #4 is all about ball control and guiding the ball down onto its point. Smooth drop, clean contact, and watch it sail straight through.
FOCUS POINTS:
- As we build momentum the most important thing is to get the hand on the ball and to force the ball down onto the point
- So you go from looking at the goals, building momentum and then in the last few steps you need to look at the ball and force the ball down onto its point
- Get this wrong and you will be very inconsistent - Practice Practice Practice
