On every side strike the line twists, the ball comes back off line, and the run stops after a few punches.

It is \u003cstrong\u003eslower\u003c\/strong\u003e, so easier to follow with the eyes while the coordination goes in. And it can be used \u003cstrong\u003ebare-handed\u003c\/strong\u003e, with no gloves or wraps, since the contact stays soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorth knowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e a light ball is not an easy ball.
