The Precision concept explained.

Recognising that kicking in AFL is one of the most challenging skills to learn, Sherrin has partnered exclusively with AFL Premiership Coach and PE Teacher Mark Williams, to launch Sherrin Precision. The brainchild of Mark Williams, the Precision concept features a larger sweet spot on each end of the Sherrin (red dots) which provides a greater area for the foot to connect with and a visual aid for the player to understand the ideal impact zone on their foot.

The product also features a yellow spin line designed to provide immediate feedback to the player. When a player connects successfully with these sweet spots, the Sherrin will continue in the designated flight path and spinning pattern to hit the desired target.

These images below demonstrate the variation between a standard Sherrin football and the Sherrin Precision. You?ll see the spin line and sweet spot highlighted. The concept is inspired by the larger headed tennis racquet that has been developed. This racquet offers a bigger sweet spot compared to a small headed tennis racquet. Similar technologies have been developed in cricket and golf. The beauty of a sweet spot is that it gives a player something to aim at and then the spin line confirms how successful their kick was. This provides motivation for the player to keep practicing and see their success.

It is important to remember that elite AFL Players will only ever hit 8 out of 10 targets. To get to an elite kicking level, consistent practice is required. Patience and understanding are key. At times, kids will get frustrated but it is important to persevere. Stay positive, encourage them to have 2 or 3 more kicks and then re-visit their kicking technique again soon. Ensure the training session is fun and enjoyable. We recommend 3-5 sessions of 20 minutes in duration per week, in addition to team practice.

Note: If a player kicks straight whilst walking, jogging, running, with pressure on, in the wind or rain, with opposition around them and still hit most targets, then don?t interfere.
