How do you do the ‘forehand backhand’ deke?

I’m pretty new to HUT and have been watching videos trying to learn. I’ve gotten the hang of a few things, but this move keeps being mentioned with no real explanation of how to physically execute it on your controller. When I try it myself in practice mode I find the puck barely moves, or the goalie doesn’t bite and makes the save easily. I have a few questions I hope will clarify whatever i’m missing. Any additional advice outside my questions is also appreciated, thanks.

  1. do you stop skating and enter glide animation before doing the move

  2. is forehand backhand vs backhand forehand dependant on which way the player shoots, which side of the net you’re on or both

  3. is it actually helpful to hold r2 while doing the move(something about changes the animation?)

  4. How close to the net do you start to preform the

move

  1. How long do you hold the puck on the first side? Do you go instantly back and forth

  2. How do you incorporate left stick movement during the deke, if at all
