~tep 1: Holding
The skill of holding the shot correctly is grip. Hold the ball placing
it on the joints of the palm where all five fingers are knotted using
the index finger, the thumb and the middle finger. Practise gripping
the available ball turn by turn. While practising this, use both hands
turn by turn. Along with grip, keep the shot above the shoulder as
shown in the picture, then, leave the shot at the centre of the circle
and give the turn to the other.

Step 2: Stance

When you learn to hold the ball with a good grip, carry it above the
shoulder near the year. Make a mental plan to throw as far as you can.
Put the load of the body on the leg that is in the opposite diTection
you throw the shot.

Step 3: Gliding
After you are physically ready carrying the shot, you need to be able
to shift or glide the body in the way you are going to throw the shot.
During glide, shift the leg at once from the centre to the board toward
the direction you are going to throw the ball.

Step 4 : Throwing and Reverse
The next step after gliding is throwing and reverse. In this step throw
the shot as far as you can from your hand and rotate the body in a
ciTcle toward the centre.
