-
Feet shoulder width apart and an even stance. When possible they should practice standing up for good posture.
-
Pointer finger knuckle needs to point toward the ceiling.
-
Elbows relaxed with a little space, about the size of a small fist, between the body and the arms.
-
Sticks should be positioned at a 'Dominos' or 'Papa John's' wedge, not 'Cici's' or 'Sbarros'
-
Thumb and pointer fingers should be even with each other. This is your fulcrum. If they are even, the stick will bounce. Say 'Lazy T'... they'll know what that means.
-
Wrists need to be flat and centered, just like the attached picture. The wrist should not be contorted.
-
Thumb should be pointed toward the bead of the stick, not towards the floor.
-
The stroke is a wrist motion like knocking on a door and the bead should rebound like a basketball.
