Offhanded Scoober

My main goal going into this game was to concentrate on placement of hucks. Sadly, I was not able to practice this because my teammates stood in the endzone, hands waving. Instead, I practiced what some call "taking over the game". This means I attempted to touch the disc more than any other person, working the disc up the field purely through my effort. Few hucks, almost all give and go's. It worked really well. When I started to call for the disc right after completing a pass, people on my team quickly realized i meant business and do whatever the hell say. And they did. Hooray.

"Taking over the game"allowed me to practice quick handler movement, whether strike or dump. The first cut worked about 80% of the time (due to defensive inexperience). When it didnt I played the indecision game. Something to work on for next time: if the first cut doesnt work clear out (in an ideal and organized game) or quickly setup another cut.

I got my pulling practice in today. I have a better feel for it now. To me, it no longer feels like a huck. Its a different throw now. My grip is much tighter. My body movement is aggressive and methodical, not full of finesse and quickness like a huck. My approach to where I throw the disc is different now too. How I pull a disc is similar to how Richard Hamilton free throws:

I do not step out like he does, but I set posture and run up for my pulls in the exact same way. My hope is that my consistency increases due to a routine much like Hamilton's.

And I had two sick flick pulls. I'm looking at you Bobby.

Got nailed in the kidney today as I got a D. Hurt/s like hell. Pissin' blood tonight beeches. The kick who tackled me in the kidney traveled big time on a huck assist. Pisses me off. I called travel, but no one cared haha. That's good 'ole pickup.

If this same group of people do this again, I am going to try to teach them a ho stack so I can have more fun. Not gonna teach them a vert. Thoughts on Hofense over vert? Might not work because only 12 people showed up. Hard to do a Hofense with six people.
