Scuff

Description

Swing the free foot forward (or out to the side) and let the back edge of the heel tap strike the floor as it passes, finishing with the foot in the air. It's like a brush played with the heel instead of the ball, and no weight goes onto the foot.

Breakdown

Practice Tips

• Lift the front of the foot so only the heel catches the floor. If the ball touches too, you get an extra sound.
• Let the swing come from the leg and keep it moving past the floor. A scuff that stops on the floor turns into a dig.
