Information about the
Push-Kick for Beginners
The
push-kick is one of those most basic and straightforward shot. It is easy to
learn but tough to master. Technically, there are many ways of scoring a goal
with the push-kick and is hard to explain without watching how it is done.
Suffice it to say that it should be executed in one single movement.
There are two ways of executing the shot: palm or
wrist. I would suggest you choose wrist for mastery, as you can control the
speed of execution and speed of the ball.
Advantages:
- easy to setup and learn for beginners
- there are 5 holes opened to a push-kick shot at
any one time as suppose to7 scoring opportunities depending on the
defense.
- natural ability to transform into other shots
like tic-tac, pull shot, etc.
- the ability to control the "squaring-off" or
"spraying" of ball shot on goal
- the ability to control the speed of execution
and speed of the ball.
Disadvantages:
- very tough to recoil on a "deadman" (but then
again, do you need to?)
