Quoted from chuckwurt:Imagine you're playing egg toss. You want to greet the ball at the high point, and drop your hands with the object so that the energy just comes to a complete stop and rests in your hands/flipper safe and sound.
That's a fantastic description. I've watched videos and heard the pros describe their use of it, but I could never get the actual "why and how" of the method to click in my head. Thanks Chuck! Looking forward to trying this when I get back home.
