How it works

1 · The setup

Build a runway, protect the ball through traffic and gather before the defender establishes the meeting point.

Convert horizontal speed into vertical lift, bring the ball above the contest and finish through contact.

Elite hang time leaves room for a glide, reverse, windmill or late hand switch when the direct line closes.
