The Blocktackle
Gofox, 31 March 2021
Blocktackle is a defence technique. It consists of putting the stick on the ground to "pick up" the opponent's ball. Precision in defence timing is important for good execution.
The grip used is the Basic Grip.
When the opponent comes towards you and is within interception distance, the movement consists of taking a step forward with the left foot, while placing the stick on the ground along its entire length to intercept the ball.
To keep a good visibility on the game, it is important to bend your legs, and not to lower your back only.
