L-Drag
The L
The ball makes an L shape. It is a V-pull, but you go straight sideways.
Study holds every step and names it. Flow runs them together at speed. Space bar plays and pauses; arrow keys step one frame.

Where the ball actually goes
The strip shows you; this shows the ball. Every turn in this book is a shape on the grass.
The shape the ball draws
Back, stop, then straight sideways. An L.
Practise it — Cone L
Put a cone down. Do 10 Ls around it.
Coach says
Back, stop, sideways. Two straight lines.
Watch out

- Letting the ball run past your body.
