Drilling

Drilling is a specific technique that some Inkastare employe to more strategically place the field kubbs in such a manner that they create the least amount of random bouncing. The goal is to make a woodpile. It is typical that a team would have one player that specializes in this technique and is the primary Inkastare for the team.

There are various strategies to drilling, but the majority of drills adhere to these two principles:


 * 1) The kubb is spun on its center axis, similar to a spin of a thrown football
 * 2) Unlike a football, the nose of the kubb is generally pointed downward during the throwing motion

Drilled kubbs are generally thrown near the centerpins, for the following reasons:


 * 1) Throwing close to the centerline provides a more favorable and closer distance to attack a kubb
 * 2) Throwing close to the corner provides the advantage that if kubbs are half in/half out, they are forced in, creating a tighter group
 * 3) Kubbs that are off-target, not thrown to technique, or bounce off other previously thrown kubbs have more of a chance to go out of bounds. This allows the inkastare another attempt to throw the kubb without affording a less favorable kubb position if it were to have stayed in bounds.
 * 4) Throwing to a position further away from the king decreases the chance of knocking the king over prematurely.
