WD feeds ball to either the C or WA, who are both driving down onto the circle edge.
Scenario 1
If the ball lands on the 'other' side to the space held by the GS, the GS can either
(a) roll off the GK to recieve direct ball or
(b) convince the GK she will roll with feint dodge, but then drop back for hifg feed under post
Scenario 2
The ball lands same side as GS, who is holding strog and angled, for a feed into space or a drop and pop!
Options
Try the feed and drives from a variety of places on the court to better simulate gameplay; have them landing top and pocket too.
GS initial hold and angle is key; it must be strong and high.
GS make a decision if ball lands opposite; move must be decisive!
Remember the feed from the edge can be a calm, collected third second ball so give GS time to re-angle/move if ball has landed 'other' side
Ball placement key (isn't it always?!)
