High Snig

1. Your opponent is about to strike the ball from his hand.

2. Approach opponent from the side or from behind.

3. Keep your eye on the ball.

4. When your opponent throws up the ball "flick" it away with a crisp wrist action.

Notes:

• Be careful when you "snig" that you get in close to your opponent or you might get struck with the end of his swing.

• Be careful that you do not hit your opponent or you will give away a free.

Practice Drill:

Stand close to your partner, slightly behind him. He throws up the ball and attempts to strike -in slow motion-(he allows you to dis-possess him) You snig away the ball. As your confidence grows do the exercise while walking, then running and finally without your partner allowing you to snig the ball away.
