Have you been in the Freestyle Practice? That's a great place to get a good feel.

Hold it for bank shots when you're in an appropriate position

You need it if you want to perform up and unders in the post.

And for DEFENSE you use it in conjunction with the R2 and Triangle to do a monster block. I ALWAYS use L2 and R2 for blocking.
