Text Book Question Mark Dodge

May 10, 2008

I’m watching ESPNU’s rebroadcast of the April 12 Duke Virginia game.

With about 2:45 left in quarter 3 Zach Howell executed a perfect question mark dodge and beat Bud Petit with a high shot.

In the 30 Days to Scoring Success lacrosse dvd, Pat Myers walks you through the dodge.  It is Myers’ favorite because, as he explains, it is a dodge you can always go to to get room for a shot if you have it in your arsenal.

If you have this Duke Virginia game on DVR, watch the dodge a few times.  You will notice that in Howell’s execution as he rolls back he does not switch hands immediately.  Instead, he uses his body to shield his stick as his feet get him and his hands separation, then transfers the stick and fires.  This important point is something Myers emphasizes in the instructional DVD.

ESPNU is great isn’t it?

    In the case of a clock it is, of course, infinitely unlikely. ,
