 I'm gonna do a long ball passing tutorial and I'm gonna focus mainly on a pinged pass So I'm not curling it With the inside or the outside it should be a straight ball that has just lots of backspin Maybe not lots of backspin, but it's straight. Okay. It does have backspin, but the ball is going relatively straight It's not curling off to one side or the other I think this is a very important ball for you to be able to play if you want to be a good passer Okay, because a lot of times when I do play that curl It's not going to go exactly where I want it to go. So you need the ability to play a nice driven long straight ball So let's get started here. I'm going to talk about technique Okay, so first thing I'm trying to swipe under the ball Like this under the ball. Okay, so I should be making contact down here under the ball swiping and Following through towards my target. Okay, so it's like this It's kind of like shooting technique So my lace my toes are straight like I would be doing if I was shooting a ball Straight with the laces, but I'm swiping under it and I want you to think about using a golf club Okay, a golf club. You're going right under like a a six iron or an iron shot a pitching wedge. You're going under the ball Creating good backspin like that. Okay, so let's hit a couple balls. See if I can get it to my teammate over here Okay, so again, I'm swiping under the ball Like this. Okay, keeping good balance nice flowing technique Yeah, I have to swing my leg if I just have a half back swing like that It's not going to go very far. So I want you to swing your leg nice back spin and See how the ball goes straight good backspin underneath it. Okay, let's try again So I'm approaching the ball again. Yes, I'm planting beside the ball But I'm just really focusing on having a nice natural swing and Hitting my foot is flexed. Okay. My technique is flexed But I'm hitting under the ball like that and just slightly following through Towards my target Little too much for him to handle Okay, again good follow through or sorry good nice back swing nice follow through but hitting with flex foot Underneath the ball. Okay, and you see that one was actually not that good. It peeled to the left a bit Why is that? That's because I hit it with a weak ankle. Okay, and it kind of curled like that That's the natural tendency of my shot because I'm a right footer. If you're a left footer, it's probably the same thing So you need to hold that technique pure you need to hold it What I mean pure is really flex really pointed down to the ground. Okay ping again That's a little better. Okay, and see my follow through it's nice and straight like this boom I do have good balance over the ball nice back swing flex foot when I make contact if my ankle goes weak when I make contact that's when you're gonna get that spin off to the side that you don't want Okay, so really flexed After I make contact. I'm still flexed flexed Towards the ball. Let's hit a couple left-footed See how that goes. Okay, again should always be practicing with both feet with same thing I'm swiping under the ball and notice my point of attack. Okay. I'm not coming straight at the ball like this If I do that then it's probably gonna spin off to the left if I'm using my laces unless I hit it exactly Perfect, but it's a lot easier to hit this nice long ball If I'm coming from the side. Okay, and if I hit too much on this side of the ball With my lace then yes, it's gonna spin off that way if I hit too much on this side of the ball Then it's gonna spin off that way. Okay, so I need to hit right underneath with good technique See if I can hit my target Okay, and that one does have a little bit of draw But if I know that my ball is gonna draw a bit to the right Then I'm just gonna set it off a bit more on the left so it comes back to the right Okay, I hit one more for you size four ball Nice natural technique. Oh And that's the poorest one of them all send that back Dawson Okay, try again, and that's a great point right there. Okay, you're not gonna hit a good ball every time But what's important is that you look at what happened wrong? Okay, so that one I probably I was a bit off balance I was back here. I wasn't over the ball. Okay. I want to get over the ball a bit more keep control Little pure technique And now it's still curling to the left. Give me one more Want to work on this left foot? Okay, that's better. That's more what I want straight ball nice flight good backspin Following through to the target. Okay, so think about those things my body is over the ball If I'm leaning back right here, it's gonna be hard to control it hitting under the ball with pure technique That means your flex foot like your lay shot except you're swiping under it Okay, if I hit too much on that side of the ball It's gonna curl this way if I hit too much on this side of the ball. It's gonna peel off that way
