Pound and Shoot

Drill with two-handed pound of the ball at varying times (before/after landing) to disturb rhythm. Also works on hand placement and lift path from outside the frame.

Key points

  • Pound the ball at different times relative to landing to disturb rhythm.
  • Use downward momentum of the pound to get directly back up into the shot.
  • Two hands on top of ball forces good hand placement under the ball after pound.
  • Slam ball outside frame/feet to require bringing it up from hip while maintaining stable release.

Common mistakes

It's easy to miss a couple shots and start to get down on yourself; must continue to key in through difficulty.
