Offhanded Scoober

Bobby: Vermont Ultimate

Labels: Bobby

So yea, like 2 weeks ago i played some really good ultimate up in vermont, it was pickup but the players where all either quite experienced with great throws or young and fast with decent speed so it was a solid game, thought I'd write about it now cause i dont really have anything else to write about and im bored.

The Good:
Caught a Callahan- pretty stupid, just stood in the endzone and the guy put it up high stall count, floated right to me after being caught by the wind

Threw a pretty damn nice full field flick for a score, not much to say about that except that it feels good to have the ability to do that

Got a nice D as I pursued my man through past the handler as he was clearing through on an in cut to the dump, was pretty much a point block thats how close it was, anyway i was reminded of a pretty obvious lesson in ultimate which is to not clear close to your handler(kinda a nub move by the guy i was covering)


The Bad:
Learned the importance of really having some kind of connection btw the handler and the cutter as I threw multiple turns when i was trying to throw io flicks to the break that were relatively catchable, only to have my target not follow the throw or not be ready for it. Frustrating

Dropped an easy score early in the game, just plain stupid... I think I might have gotten the D after that so made up for it but its still annoying

I'm probably a little bit out of shape, found myself winded after a couple of points, pretty damn annoying, have my work cut out for me to hopefully get near game shape for the start of school

I still find that I don't throw backhands with regularity, this is potentially due to the fact that most people force flick assuming that that wont be as good of a throw (suckers) but i think I will start trying to break people with the backhand at least in pickup/summer league just to try it/for fun

Our lanes in the endzone were really clogged, probably an issue that most disorganized teams face as people have too strong a desire to get the disc (kinda disheartening that we had this problem to an extent last year though)

No bids, I think the way the field feels makes a huge difference in my willingness to bid cause the field was a bit bumpy and hard whatever, although i was contemplating bidding over this one woman, woulda been fucking awesome but definitely would have crushed her, so i backed off at the last second






Anyway there was probably a lot of other cool stuff that happened but 2 weeks later i can't really remember so whatever, anyway it was a really good set of games that we played at a relatively high level which was kind of refreshing 1 comments
