Thanks for this video. Just what I've been looking for, I've passed it on to our whole team of 20+ kids. Any more tips for kids would be greatly appreciated! All the best.
Here's a tip for kids that'll give guaranteed results: It's difficult to do a good shot with power and accuracy unless you've reached a good level with your passing. The three criteria for a good pass are 1) Precision 2) Ball rolls rather than bouncing and 3) The right amount of power. Criteria 1 and 2 are the most important to begin with, with criteria 3 coming more into focus when good control is achieved 💪
I think this is the best way to do it, but alternatively I'd suggest keeping the blade in a pot of boiling water for a while. That should make it soft enough to form, with the added advantage that it heats more of the blade more evenly. Downside is it doesn't seem to get hot enough to form a good zorro tip compared with heat gun, but it's better than nothing. Good luck! 😁
