Description
Strike the heel of the free foot forward into the floor, then spank the same foot straight back so the ball tap catches the floor. Two sounds, like a shuffle that starts with the heel instead of the ball, with no weight change, so the foot is free afterward.

Practice Tips
- If the spank comes too soon, lift the toe higher during the dig or hold the dig on the floor a split second longer.
- Keep the ankle relaxed so the spank swings through cleanly instead of scraping.
