Leg Whip

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

We see the whip, slinging your own jammer with your arm, with reasonable frequency in the Houston league. More so in some teams than others.

I’d never heard of a leg whip, until I saw this picture.

It obviously looks more difficult, but given that your leg has more reach and more power, it seems it could be effective if done correctly. I’m not really sure what “correctly” is, though.

This photo from a Philadelphia league.
