The height of your stick is really important and the position of your right hand and the stick should be shoulder height allowing you to look over your stick so you can see the ball coming. If the ball comes too close you can step forward or if it comes behind, you can step back. Your right hand needs to be about halfway through the stick, don’t go too low as this will mean you will not have enough control on receiving. It is most important you do not remain static as just sticking your arms out will mean you do not have control.
