- Execution of the exercise:
- Player strikes the ball towards the drum;
- The ball rebounds of the drum at an angle;
- STAGE 1 - The player decides what stroke he / she will perform before moving to strike the ball - the player must get the hands into the position before moving - the striker should not move more than 3 paces before getting to the ball;
