stutter run-ups

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

It's supposed to take a keepers guess out of the equation. The taker should be able to react to seeing him move and choose the other side.

But very often the savvy goalkeeper stays central when he can see a 'stutter pelanty" unfolding in front of him.
I'm convinced when that happens the pelanty taker often hasn't thought it out thoroughly, and has to make a split-second decision about which side to now put it.

They would do well to copy the technique of the late, great, Peter Whittingham.

But if the taker hits it in the corner, either side, and the keeper hasn't made a move, then it's an almost certain goal. The ball will travel faster than the keeper.

The keeper will leave his choice as late as possible, but he cannot wait until the ball is moving.
