Description

Two scuffles in a row on the same free foot: dig the heel into the floor in front, spank the ball back, then repeat. The digs don't take weight, so the standing foot keeps it and the working foot stays free.

Practice Tips

  • Don't lock the knee and ankle on the first scuffle. A stiff leg can't drop back down in time for the second dig.
  • Keep the digs close in front of the standing foot instead of reaching far forward, so the spanks have a short path back.
