How to do the Toe Kick

The toe kick strikes with the flat of the shoe over the toes. It is the most direct way to send the bag straight up in front of you, and the same surface you will later delay on.

STEP BY STEP

1. Drop the bag from your hand so it falls straight down in front of your dominant foot.
2. Point the toe down and extend the foot so the laces face the sky.
3. Lift from the knee in a short, controlled motion.
4. Meet the bag on the flat of the shoe just above the toes.
5. Keep the strike small - this kick needs touch, not power.

TIPS

• Laces up, not toes forward. Stubbing the bag with the toe end sends it off at an angle.
• Lift from the knee, not the hip, or the bag flies out in front of you.
• This is the same surface as a toe delay, so time spent here pays twice.
