However, you will soon get used to it. To line up where you want to send a ball, you must stalk it. This means going back a couple of metres and walking up to the ball from behind, looking at the line you want to hit it along. All these things improve your chances of hitting the ball correctly. What you will do next depends on what you find comfortable and what works for you.
Most players swing their mallet above the ball a few times to get the aim spot on.
Do not look up as you hit the ball. As you hit the ball and follow through, push your upper arms away from your body. You are using your shoulders at the pivot. Direction is one thing but almost as important is distance . Hitting a ball a long way is more a matter of timing than hitting hard.
