What can you see?

• The handler learns that the shooter can only take a walkthrough ball if the throw is prepared calmly, thrown in front of the shooter and the ball is placed at the right height.
• Walking pace and walking distance of the archer can be controlled by the throwing pace, ball path and ball pace.
• Learning to control problems such as timing requires a lot of repetition and sometimes adjustment of the distances used.
• The problems for the shooter, the starting position of the through ball is different because the body is turned to receive the ball, lead to unclean actions. Stay attentive to this.
• The speed of action should be increased.

Variation:

• As exercise 12, but the declarer throws the ball to a shooter who swings out to a position diagonally behind the basket.
