12 min
5 x 12 balls with markers at front and back of crease

Demonstration video coming soon
Instructions
- 1Mark the front and back of your crease with tape or cones.
- 2On shorter balls, go right back to the back marker before playing.
- 3On fuller balls, come right forward past the front marker to smother turn.
- 4Avoid stopping halfway between markers on any ball.
What to focus on
Using the full depth of the crease, not a half-step.
Common mistake
Playing from a fixed spot regardless of length, getting beaten by turn or bounce.
