How to spin pass
This drill builds the spiral release for distance passing, using a wall mark as the receiver line.
The drill
- Pick a mark on the wall at your chest height. Stand 6 meters away, side-on.
- Tip the long axis of the ball about a third off horizontal before you swing.
- Sweep the ball back and across, spinning it off your top hand at the mark.
- Collect the rebound, reset your grip fully each rep. Do not rush the setup.
Space
A flat wall, one ball, 8m of run-off, chalk or tape for the mark.
Make it harder / make it easier
Harder. Step back a meter each set you hit the mark 6 times or more.
Easier. Drop to 4 meters and shadow the motion without release for the first set.
