How do you hold a stick when dribbling in field hockey?

Answer 1

The left hand should be at or near the top of the stick while the right hand is about midway down, towards the end of the grip. The left hand controls the direction the stick is angled e.g. whether it is face-forward or edgeways. The right controls the position of the stick, for example if it is to the side of the player or to the front. The left hand should not be released when dribbling as it turns the stick, while the right only needs to guide it; this hand should be loose enough that it does not turn with the stick but should still be tight enough to control it.
