3D skills

3D skills: many defenders say that one of the hardest things to defend is when players use 3D skills. Using a controlled lift is very effective to use against players who like to make flat stick tackles. 3d skills occur when the ball is carried on the stick in the air either in one direction or by changing the direction of the ball in the air by changing the direction of the stick face under the ball. They are an extension of a drag and jink with the ball remaining on the stick for longer periods of time.

3D skills – the art of 3D skills

Use a line or someone else’s stick to practice bringing the ball up and over, just to get the movement going. This skill is great to use in a game when the defenders are committed you just lift the ball over their stick. It is also used when you are in a tight space.
