When using this technique your hands are really important and the face of the stick needs to be pointing up because you’re trying to contact the ball higher up on the stick, on the side just like when you hit the tomahawk however in this case it’s not a hit. You’ve got your hands apart so one at the top of the grip one at the bottom and from here the pull back is not so far and it’s just a simple toss.
This pass is so effective because when you get a pass and you want to make the next pass, you don’t have to turn around, you can pass with your forehand immediately as don’t need to turn, saving time, you want to be quick and effective with your trap so the ball can be transferred quickly. You must focus on the angle of the stick because if you get too low and you could hit the ball too low and this will make the ball lift, angle the stick so that you hit the ball exactly in the heart so that the ball stays nice and flat.
