1. Your opponent is about to strike the ball from his hand.

2. Approach opponent from the side or from behind.

3. Keep your eye on the ball.

4. When your opponent throws up the ball "flick" it away with a crisp wrist action.

Points to note:

• Be careful when you "snig" that you get in close to your opponent or you might get struck with the end of his swing.
• Be careful that you do not hit your opponent or you will give away a free.
