The low shot is a very difficult technique. When performed properly, it generates a very hard, fast and difficult shot. Speed is the primary ingredient, but in order to keep the ball in the cross long enough also requires very good technique and “feeling”.

The shot is performed by lowering the head of the cross below the knee and releasing the shot there.

Grip the cross low, lower it to the knee with the basket facing upwards. Next turn the opening towards the goal while lowering the cross below the knee. When the ball is placed in the upper part of the cross’ basket, push it forwards to relase the shot.

The speed is necessary when lowering the cross below the knee. If the speed is insufficient the ball is dropped before the shot is made. This is what makes this shot so difficult.
