Offside Forehand
This
stroke is used most often because it produces the most powerful
drive. |
Offside Neck Shot
This
shot has power, but it can interfere with the pony's front legs
and may, therefore, be dangerous to both horse and rider. |
Nearside Neck Shot
This
shot is used to clear the ball for a harder stroke, set up plays
for team mates and attempt a shot at the goal from a different
angle. |
|
Offside Tail Shot
This
is used to clear the ball when it is behind the pony.
Like the neck shot, the ball is hit with more of a flick of the
wrist than use of the entire arm. |
Nearside
Backhand
This
is another basic stroke. It is also important because players
are not allowed to switch mallet hands and must play right
handed. |
Nearside
Back Shot
This
is a difficult shot to do well, but once it is mastered, it is
the second most powerful stroke in use |
