Hi there,
The "lowback hand reverse hit" in field hockey is often referred to as the "Reverse Stick Hit" or "Tomahawk." Hereâs a brief definition and some key coaching points:
Definition:
The Reverse Stick Hit is a technique where the player uses the reverse side (backhand) of the stick to hit the ball. This shot is typically used when the ball is on the player's left side, and it allows for powerful shots or passes.
Coaching Points:
Grip: Hold the stick with both hands at the top, with the flat side of the stick pointing upwards.
Stance: Step to the ball with the right foot, ensuring both feet and the ball are in one line.
Approach: Keep the stick low to the ground during the approach and follow through.
Contact: Hit the ball with the side of the stick, maintaining a low stick position throughout the movement.
For a more detailed explanation and visual aid, you can refer to the drill titled "Reverse stick hit" in the drill library.
Feel free to ask if you need more information or additional drills!
I hope this helps,
Cam
