Wilson's Brush pass Tips
What's a brush pass?
A brush pass is probably the most commonly used pass for the more experienced players. It is called a brush because you brush by the ball when passing it, this gives it an angle and a rotation for an awesome pass. The ball contacts the flat surface of the man, not the corners! If you use the corners it would be considered a chip pass. We'll be talking about a near wall brush series.
*First you must know that it is best to pass the ball from the exact same spot every time. This will keep your opponant from knowing where you're gonna go. Also, always keep your 3-rod against the wall (ready to catch) until you pass. If you jump off the wall before the brush-up or lane pass, they'll know where you're going.
Setting it up:
Where's the spot?
The sweet-spot for passing a brush series is about 3.0" from the wall (not like my picture). This position will allow you to brush-up, brush-down, or do a stright stick pass. These three options make this series very effective.
Ball Placement?
Ball placement is very important. Not only the distance from the wall but even more, the lateral distance from the rod. You want to have the ball behind the rod so it's close to being pinned. Alot of players will pin the ball on the #2 man and roll it to the #1 man with a little foreward roll to acheive the perfect distance from the rod. You'll notice that the closer the ball is to the pin position, the faster the pass will be. You'll have to practice varying the speed of the pass to be able to catch it on your 3-rod.
Ball Speed?
Ball speed is important too. You want to have the ball moving very slow just before you execute the pass. If you have good placement and a nice slow roll you'll have an exellent pass.
This is my personal technique:
1. Back-pin the ball on your #2 man of the 5-rod
2. Roll toward your #1 man putting a little pressure on the ball. (This will influence the roll toward the rod).
3. Hover over the ball with your #1 man, pass the ball in both directions at least one time (to confuse your opponant).
4. Execute your brush or lane pass.
Technique:
Practice:
I'd do 50 brush-ups, 50 Brush downs, and 25 straights every day if you're preparing for a tourney.
Brush-up: 
Brush-Down: 
Practice your brush-up with the opposing 5-rod against the wall and angled back slightly . Your brush-up should go just under the #4 man's toe.
Practice your Brush-down with the opposing 5-rod about 1/2"- 1" from the wall. (shown above)
