I'm reading that a ball scoop and ball joint are separate things. A ball scoop can be used as a pass, but technically could you pass to yourself and shoot with the ball still in the air? Bit of a dick move, but I wanted clarification.

Basically an egg and spoon, to in the air, to clean shot with the mallet?

4 - Scoring a goal and ball movement
4.1 - A goal must originate as a "shot," defined as striking the ball with the end of the players mallet. Before passing the line, the ball can deflect on any element on the court, except on the ‘shuffle’ side of any attacking team member’s mallet.
4.2 - Wrist shots or scoop shots are not considered a "shot", therefore will not count as a goal. This technique may be used to pass the ball.
4.3 - A "shuffle," defined as a ball that is struck with the broad side of the mallet, will never count as a goal unless the ball is shuffled by a player into their own net.
4.4 - Ball-joint: Not to be confused with a scoop pass, toss or other ball handling. The ball-joint is defined as pinning the ball between an open end, or an open side in some cases, of the mallet head and the playing surface and then dragging it. Ball-jointing will be allowed anywhere on court, however, before a shot at goal, the ball must be passed to another player.
4.5 - If the ball becomes lodged on a player, bicycle or in the spokes of a wheel in such a way that it cannot be played safely, game play will be stopped. The ball will be dislodged and placed on the ground at the point of incident. The player directly involved in the ball being lodged will get possession and play will resume.
4.6 - The ball cannot be played with the feet off the pedals. Intentionally touching the ball will be counted as a foot-down or "dab" (see below) and that player will be required to tap-out. If a player prevents a goal in this manner it will be penalized. The referee will decide what penalty is appropriate at that time.
