The offside forehand is the key fundamental swing used in polo, to advance the ball downfield, attempt penalty shots and shoot at goal.
In this skill from Agustin Merlos in the Cartier Queen’s Cup, there are three key moments that demonstrated the execution. These are:
- Keep your elbow in close to your body during the start of the backswing.
- Have your hips steady on the saddle and rotate your shoulders to complete the swing
- At contact, have a firm wrist to promote solid contact through the ball
