Wall Ball Shots is one of the most functional moves. It is quite demanding in terms of its proper execution as there is an increased difficulty even for advanced athletes to perform its perfect technique. Its complete movement consists of a front seat with the ball in shoulder position and then throwing the ball at a specific target on the wall. There could be no other exercise that combines precision, coordination and agility. These parameters classify it in the category of high difficulty functional movements.
