Catching the ball

When a ball is to be caught right handed players stands with the right foot in front.
The arms are reaching forward and the fingers are spread and slightly bend.
The hands form a bowl with the thumbs pointing against each other.
Just before the ball hits the hands, it is brought under control with a springy movement in the wrists and elbows.
Afterwards it is easy to move the left foot forward, to pull the shooting arm backwards and perform a throw.
