How to do it

Setup

Side-on to a solid wall, ball at the back hip, staggered stance.

Steps

  1. Rotate the hips first, then the torso, then the arms.
  2. Throw the ball explosively into the wall.
  3. Catch or collect and reset fully before the next throw.

Common mistakes

Arm-throwing: the power chain starts at the HIPS. Feet frozen: the back foot pivots. Machine-gunning throws: full reset, full power, every one.

Breathing

Sharp exhale on the throw.
