Moving the hand backwards while catching a fast-moving ball allows the player to decelerate the ball gradually, reducing the impact force and improving control. This technique also helps absorb the ball's momentum and minimizes the risk of injury.
A guard is a device designed to prevent injury from rotating machinery.
