One of the biggest problems I see on the field is players taking improper strokes. Their first issue is that they keep their head forward and in result swing the mallet over their head and bend their arm. This results in a loss of power and accuracy. The first step to solving this problem is to swing the mallet under your chin, keeping your head out over the ball, swinging the mallet from your right ear to your left. This will greatly increase the distance your balls travel, the power you can use on you strokes and the accuracy of your aim.
Next time you go out for stick and ball give this a try! If you want to take the next step, send me a video of your stroke and I can give you personalized tips. Sincerely, Coach Eldredge CPI
