Ball Placement
Strokes
Adam Hayashigawa Asked 14 years ago
Hello Alois,
I have been having difficulty understanding the concept on how to change the placement of the ball, especially consecutive loops. I know you have to change the direction of the contact point, but I can't change the placement on the dime. Is there an easy way of changing the placement without changing my body position.

Hi Adam,
The change of direction can be as subtle as the difference in pressure of your fingers. If you change the fingers and wrist a little you can change the direction of the ball. Just try it, having your fingers and wrist really relaxed and see if you can change direction. Your arm also has to be relaxed to do this.
If you have more time and are looking for more power you can change your feet slightly and get the same position relative to where you want the ball to go. If you want the ball to change direction a few degrees, then change the direction of your feet a few degrees.
