• Bottom Hand: Positioned at the bottom of the stick, around the middle of your abdomen, providing stability and control.
• Top Hand: Gently holds the stick on the pads of the fingers, allowing for flexibility and fluidity in movement.
• Fluid Movement: Cradling involves a coordinated rolling motion of the fingers, wrist, and elbow, all working together to keep the ball secure in the pocket.
• Vertical Stick Angle: The stick should be kept as vertical as possible, with a slight angle to prevent the ball from falling out. This helps maintain control and readiness for quick actions.
