Tackling techniques: The reverse side steal

This is a good defensive tackle when you are chasing your opponent from the reverse side. This tackle solves out a situation which can easily result in a foul for the attacker unless executed with the proper skills. 

The stick needs to be held in neutral position and similar grip as the jab tackle. The defender needs to reach the proper distance of tackle and pull the ball without touching the stick of the opponent.
