Chapter Eight Beginner Near Wall Brush Passing Series

 Beginner Near Wall Brush Passing Series"

...A. Serve , pin, and start very slow motion rolling set. Maneuver and push, slice, and chip the ball back with the first man to start getting it into the back pinned position of the second man. Now back Pin the ball underneath the the second man on the 5 Bar... Back Pin the ball a about 1.5-2 ball lengths behind the rod. At this set position the 5 bar will be pushed almost all the way against the far wall. Pin toss the ball to set the ball in motion and Roll the ball laterally from the back Pinned position very slowly towards you, Keep the ball moving laterally at the same pinned table line, slide the first man on the 5-Bar with just enough reverse motorcycle back swing to get over the ball, now Hover this 1st man back and forth, over the ball as the ball moves very very slowly towards the near wall in the "rolling set position". Try hovering the first man over the ball covering both sides of the ball evenly, as to disguise the brush strike position and where the ball is being passed to. The Brush Strike Range is between the lane and the wall (about 1-2 balls from the wall) For the first year always pin the ball at this position and start your passing series from this rolling set position.

...B. The Three Bar Position: Set the three bar in the Catch Position. You do this by pulling the three rod towards you, all the way up against the near wall, and then tilt the man's foot forward at about a 45 degree angle out toward your opponent's goal. Leave your three man set in this catch position at all times, until you strike the ball passing on any type of hole other than the wall, then just when you strike the ball in completing the execution of the pass, move the three man rod out to catch or control the pass.

...C. Catch or control the pass. When you pass to the wall, you will Brush strike the ball into the man sitting on the wall and the ball will be caught by this first man if tilted correctly pinned up against the wall. You really don't have to do much other than make sure you have it tilted forward at the right angle degree and it will stick in between the man and the wall after you hit the the ball into this area. Now if you pass down the lane, Immediately when you Brush strike the ball to pass the lane , you then push the three rod over about 2 inches leaving the man remaining in the tilted down position. Depending on the rough texture quality of the ball you are using, the firmness of your grip on the three rod (don't grip it too tight as it needs a little room to give when the ball strikes into it as the ball can then be slid underneath the man pinned at a catch position), and the exact tilted position of your man, the ball may stick and be caught as the catching man and the playing surface acts as the two sides of a baseball glove closing, griping and pinning the man between the man's heal and the playing table surface.
…However it is not necessary to catch passes. All you really need to do is just control the passes on your 5 bar. Adjust your level of firmness and flexibility on the three rod so that after the ball is passed into and hits the three rod man the ball bounces into and back a little and you then nick the ball a little or quickly slide your three man around the back of the ball to control it.
