Rules
1. To begin or resume play, start with a self toss.
2. No palms allowed, unless to prevent loss or damage.
3. Include everyone, `cause anyone can play.
4. Don't hit or bat the Myachi - absorb it.
Once you’ve mastered the basics, it’s
time to step up to the next level!!!
Catching a Myachi is like catching an egg, you've got to give with it. The only difference is, you catch a Myachi on the back of your hand, not your palm. This is the beauty of the game. Begin by forming a web with your hand . Loosely extend and spread your fingers creating a half inch space between each fingertip. Proper thumb placement is crucial. It must be level with the rest of your hand, one half inch from your forefinger. This will increase the surface area of your hand and dramatically improve your game. The basic catching motion is simple. Align your parallel hand with the flat side of the Myachi anticipating it's rate of speed and angle of descent. Then, in one fluid motion, absorb the impact.
