Course reviews
Hamish Webb EnglandThis is a great drill for girls playing with balls that are too big for most of them. World rugby should waken up and understand that a player with a size 4 boot should not be playing with a ball the same size as used by a player with a size 12. how does it effect the game if they play with a smaller ball?
Sisa Ntlabati New Zealandgreat ball passing skills being taught here, ball gets to the target and at required speed.
Edwin Silkstone EnglandThanks for demonstrating a great drill develop the Punch Pass technique Dave, along with the associated features to increase the players awareness and reaction times.
Lonny Levi Thailandnice videos! excellent stuff Ben Herring and all…Lonny LEVI #chiangraibears Northern Thailand Rugby
Sendil IndiaI really like it, Specially the players are enjoying while there the passing & focusing on basic pass it very important to all rugby players & I can see each & ever time their is progression in the drill & it can be challenging to them
hugo juarez Argentinavery practical and funny!!!
Michael Squires AustraliaGreat drill with some key focus points
Muir Kara Spainlove it, the technique against the fence and also not over rolling the pass is simple but effective
matthew persanis USAhow does player know whom to pass too?
Shaun Mason Great Britain & Northern IrelandI particularly like the idea of using a physical barrier to discourage the over rotation of the upper body. Simple but very effective.
Tyler Leggatt CanadaThank you Dave!! Been advocating for a modification of this “Punch-Pass” for years! IMO… The ball ROLLS off the hand… it is not “spun” or turned by the wrist as is commonly misinterpreted by those trying to coach the “Punch-Pass”. Look up “Spin-Pass” on the internet… innumerable photos of hands in supinated position (ie. pinky rotating under wrist vs over). WELL DONE!
Carter Croft EnglandVery good demonstration, good to be reminded of the skills. Carter Croft
Marcel van Kuilenburg NetherlandsGood technique for playing a fast ball
Steve Botha South AfricaI like the drill a lot to improve hand speed as well as peripheral vision. Definitely us it.
