1. Your opponent is in front of you and you cannot get in a shot.

2. Take a quick step back and as you do, drop the ball to the ground in front of your feet.

3. As the ball hops, strike it -normally low.

4. It is a very difficult stroke for your opponent to block.

Points to note:

• This is also a good stroke against a strong wind.
• A low & hard drop puck close to goal is very difficult to stop.
