Backhand Sweep Pass

When executing this technique, hand positioning and the angle of the stick are indeed crucial. The face of the stick should be pointing upwards, similar to the tomahawk shot, as you aim to reach the ball on the side of the stick. However, in this case, you hold the stick with one hand at the top of the grip and the other at the bottom.

The pull back motion is not extensive, and the pass is executed with a simple flick-like action. This pass technique is highly effective because it allows for quick and efficient ball distribution. Instead of having to turn around or take extra time to position for a forehand pass, you can quickly track the ball and make a seamless pass to the next player.

One aspect to focus on is the angle of the stick during the pass. It’s important to find the right balance. If the stick is held too low, you risk hitting the ball too low, resulting in an elevated pass. To ensure a successful and accurate pass, aim to strike the ball in its center, achieving a clean and flat trajectory.

By mastering this technique and paying attention to the stick angle, you’ll be able to deliver quick and effective passes, allowing for smooth transitions in the game. Regular practice and refining your hand positioning and stick control will enhance your ability to execute this pass with precision.
