-====== Stalls ======
-In freestyle footbag, a **stall** (officially classified as a **delay** within competitive
-regulatory frameworks) is a core category of contact where a player arrests the kinetic
-momentum of the footbag, bringing it to a complete rest on a surface of the body rather than
-kicking it back into the air ((//[[http://www.footbag.org/rules/|Official Rules of Footbag Sports: Article 5 – Freestyle Regulations]]//, International Footbag Players Association (IFPA) Core Rulebook.)). Delays form the
-fundamental bedrock of modern technical choreography, serving as the required framework for
-executing advanced dexterity elements and complex combinations.
-Mechanically, a successful delay relies on synchronized deceleration. The receiving surface
-must actively track the falling velocity of the footbag and drop dynamically upon impact to
-absorb the shock, neutralizing the elasticity of the bag.

-===== Trick Overview =====
-Freestyle trick components are mathematically categorized using the official **Additional
-Degrees of Difficulty (ADD)** scoring matrix [Citation needed]. Every competitive maneuver is
-broken down into underlying motion components, with basic delays establishing the baseline
-values.
-==== Fundamental Delays ====
-  * **Toe Delay:** Catching the bag flat on the shoe's instep. It serves as a 1-ADD baseline element and is universally the entry point for novice players.
-  * **Inside Delay:** Catching the bag on the inside wall of the foot near the arch, requiring a vertical knee lift to keep the surface strictly horizontal.
-  * **Outside Delay:** Balancing the bag on the outside lateral edge of the shoe, requiring the player to rotate the hip joint outward while maintaining equilibrium.
-===== Training Tips =====
-==== Pocket Modification ====
-Standard consumer footwear is anatomically ill-suited for balancing a fluid-filled, paneled
-footbag. High-tier players alter their shoes (frequently choosing the //Adidas Rod Laver// or
-specialized canvas equivalents) by carefully cutting out inner tongue mesh and stripping away
-internal canvas reinforcing layers. This creates a wide, pliable "pocket" that cradles the bag
-on the toe, inside, and outside surfaces.
-==== Cushioning the Catch ====
-A rigid foot acts as a springboard, causing the bag to ricochet off the shoe. To execute a
-proper catch, the ankle and knee must yield immediately upon contact, extending the impact
-window over a downward trajectory of roughly three to six inches.
