Greetings Everybody!

Welcome to another episode of learning hockey with Jude Felix Sebastian.

Today, we talk about hitting the ball – be it a lob or a long pass.

The grip in this case is very important – keep your hands close to each other.

Ensure that the thumb on your right hand and the index finger forms a U shape.

This gives you a better feel of the stick including the direction of your shot.

00:00Hi guys, welcome back to another episode of Learning Hockey.
00:04I am Jude Felix and I have Malik on the far side.
00:09And Dipender will be demonstrating to us the skill of hitting the ball.
00:14And as you know, hitting the ball, it could be used to make a long clearance on a big pitch.
00:20It could be used to even make a good pass.
00:22And most importantly, it is used to scoring goals.
00:25Grip of the stick is again very important.
00:28As you can see, their hands are together.
00:31There is a U formed between the thumb,
00:34between the right hand thumb and the index right finger.
00:39And the same, there is another U formed between the left hand index finger and the left hand thumb.
00:47Both these U's are facing the tip of the stick.
00:52And that's how you hold the stick.
00:55This is the position, just below, not too far, not too close to the feet, just below the forehead.
01:03You can check, do a check on the ball.
01:05When you do this, you are able to place the ball correctly for the hit.
01:11The next position that we are going to have is the one step hit, as I mentioned to you.
01:16The one step hit, that's it.
01:21Let's go, one step.
01:23That's the one step hit.
01:25And then of course, we do the same position, we do the double step shuffle and hit.
01:32You can go double.
01:33That's the double step shuffle and hit.
01:39Using your shoulders, you need to generate strength from your shoulders when you hit the ball.
01:44The important point with the hit is when you want to make a pass in a normal match,
01:50you want to hit the ball on the ground, you keep your blade slightly closed.
01:54You can see the blade is slightly closed.
01:56It's slightly closed as to being open.
01:59So now we are talking about hitting the ball on the ground,
02:02so the blade is slightly closed and you will get a perfect hit along the ground.
02:06The other one is when you want to hit the ball in the air.
02:10As you can see now, it is open now for a hit in the net.
02:30I'm sure you have picked up some important points of this.

02:38Until the next episode, bye for now.
