this was all because I was talking to him on the mark

[@RowanMcDonnell]

The unsung hero ^^. Can't believe Troy didn't give you a shoutout!

[@marcusthaw9377]

@@RowanMcDonnell it's cause he doesn't believe in talking to the mark. I swear I'll convince by the time I retire

[@Nyxll]

never heard of block down before.... i am stealing that.

[@dmclink]

Great video! Loving the content where you bring in players to talk about their favorite skills.

[@RowanMcDonnell]

Yep, we are creating a full series over at Excel :). Thank you!

Amazing content! Greetings from Italy

[@aklevin]

Great video. Thanks!

[@juamachin]

why werent any handler around or near the thrower in the first time?

[@EugeneTolmachev]

Exactly. The mark depended on the handler not having a reset or a wide break. Good sideline talk, I guess, as Markus commented.

Excelente explicación. muchas gracias

[@RowanMcDonnell]

de nada! gracias Ender

[@scavengerultimate]

So you talked about Troy's extra wide stance and how that helped him move his feet less. However, Troy didn't mention that as part of his strategy, and when he demoed it he had his feet about shoulder width apart. Is the wide stance part of his strategy and he just didn't mention it? Or is it something he's not intentionally doing there?

Defensive POTY 2023. Good call!

[@RowanMcDonnell]

forgot about this! always knew troy was special

[@danielricci5441]

For the foot block what is kicking up vs kicking down?

[@IHACKER316]

Really great video, absolute LOVE it. But quick question please ; at about 3:10 is he marking too close as per WFDF rules , is it a marking infraction ?

[@RowanMcDonnell]

Thanks for the love! Regarding the infraction, it really comes down to how teams and or matchups mutually decide to enforce it. So maybe it technically is, but a no call seems fine
