Start the play from a C pass, or simulate ball coming down court from a turnover ball
GS initial hold and angle is key; it must be strong and high Landing on the circle edge in a balanced and controlled manner Trust that the feeder can view and place the ball into 'safe' space; decision led by feeder rather than shooter The feed from the edge can be measured and controlled, no need to rush! Land and balance, take a breathe, and then place the ball neartly into the space!
