For some reason I drop the ball with two hands, sometimes it works perfecty and sometimes it goes to the right or left. Lately I’ve tried to drop the ball like most people do that is guiding the ball with your preffered hand and using the non-preffered hand for only part of the ball drop and then using it for balance. But that hasn’t been working. With both kicks there not consistent and often go high. I also tend to flick or tilt the ball. What should I do?

I will attempt this and then I will get some others to answer the question in more detail and we will try and do a post dedicated to your question Chris..

Obviously your first step is to practice and the kick is very very similar as a drop punt but what differs is when your foot kicks the ball.

Two things change:
1) The foot connects with the ball closer to the ground and
2) the follow through is more stab by your follow through kicking foot not going as far up in the air.

Hi,

I was wondering if you could show us the correct technique for the stab pass, a 15-25 kick that hits the recipient in the belly button and never gets higher than that.

Cheers.

@Bob – I have asked a mate who had this to say.

A high kick usually means you dropping the ball to high and to far from your body. If you watch afl you will see that at times when under pressure an afl player may kick the ball with their Knee or shin by mistake, this is because they drop the ball very close to there body to keep it low and fast.

The best way to practise is to, off one leg kick the ball in to a wall low and hard ( try to use an old ball) Standing still will stop the ball moving far from your body and being on one leg will ensure you ball drop remains close. Its also good to try and catch the ball of the wall as it will help with you reaction time. as you get more confident move further from the wall and gradually move into a normal kicking style and the rest should follow.

I will create a new article with some more tips following up this and other questions. Hope this helps Bob!
