Start Stationary: Stand in a comfortable position with your stick low and the ball in your pocket (sweet spot).

Lean with Your Body: As you perform the split dodge motion, lean your body side to side to simulate changing direction.

Control the Ball: Keep the ball secure in your stick’s sweet spot—no wobbling or losing control.

Repeat Slowly: Practice the motion slowly at first, focusing on smooth transitions and stick protection.
