I have exhausted most ideas about getting players to relax the right hand. This is a fairly well established habit as they have been playing at school for a while and this fault has not been picked up and corrected. Quite happy to perservere with this but the players my get bored quite quickly any new ideas would be welcome. The players are quite limited in their ability to succeed in other drills until this is corrected.
I tend to get players to play without their right hand in a series of drills (i.e. english / indian dribble) and build in races for this. After doing this, you can build in the fact that they can have the hand touching the stick, but can't grip the stick to do it (which gives them the added stability and control, without having to force players to relax it.) That's what I'd do...
You could always try putting the carboard tube from a finished toilet paper roll down the shaft of the stick. Even if players grip the cardboard roll with their right hand, the stick is able to move easily onto the reverse. Although i haven't used this technique myself, I have been reliably informed that it works wonders!
