Double Tap, Crush, Push & Pull
If your ball is close but not touching another ball, or close to the hoop and you are not sure you are going to get it right, always get your opponent to watch your shot. We are generally playing friendlies so everyone will be more than happy to advise and help you on possible crushes, pushes, pulls or double taps.
Double Tap
When 2 balls are close and the 1st balls hits the 2nd and rebounds against the mallet.
Crush
When the mallet crushes the ball against the wire.
Push
When the mallet keeps contact with the ball to steer it in another direction, other than a straight line or to accelerate the ball when the backswing is limited.
