Introduction
A mechanical explanation of the body positioning, posture adjustments, and movement control required to navigate low profile bunkers typically found on the snake side.
Key Points
- Teaches low profile posture suitable for long, narrow bunkers.
- Explains controlled crawling and sliding mechanics.
- Covers compact marker handling in confined spaces.
- Addresses stable transitions between low and semi upright positions.
- Helps players develop predictable motion in narrow lanes.
Details
Snake side positions involve low profile movement through long, narrow bunkers. Mechanics for these roles emphasize posture, compactness, and controlled motion.
Players maintain a low center of gravity, often requiring kneeling, crawling, or semi prone positions. The torso should remain aligned with the bunker to reduce vertical rise, and the marker should stay close to the body to minimize drift.
Controlled crawling involves keeping the elbows close and distributing weight through the forearms and knees. Sudden rises can destabilize the marker and disrupt alignment.
Entering and exiting snake bunkers requires a slow, deliberate sequence of movements. Transitioning to a semi upright posture when needed should be performed through hip engagement rather than abrupt lifting.
Marker handling in confined space emphasizes micro adjustments rather than wide arm movement. Small corrections allow players to maintain stability without colliding with the bunker.
These mechanical skills provide the foundation for navigating snake side structures without introducing lane concepts or tactical decision making.
