Offhanded Scoober

What's on your mind?

I'm always thinking about making a big first impression.

As a handler, there is nothing more important than the first thing you do. The second I get the disc, I try to immediately break my mark, or at least pivot quickly the second I get the disc and let him know that I can break him like a bitch around backhand. Why, do you ask? Well think about it. If you were that defender, what would be going through your mind?

"Oh shit, this guy likes to break around backhand, and he has a good one."

All of a sudden, in one fell swoop, you're dictating how he plays.

Boom. Roasted. (Game over man.)

You can do the same thing as a cutter. Or as a team. Set up a big play right away, for a good deep cut shot. A little bit of a higher risk, but the benefits are bountiful. You show that you can take your man deep. You show that our handlers have the deep shots. Immediately, the opposing d-line has to respect your deep cuts, opening up the in-cuts.

Again. You dictate how THEY play.

Try it out.
