The BEST Way to get Open Upline in Ultimate Frisbee

I highly enjoy these sorts of comparisons to other sports. The facts of the matter are that Ultimate strategy is most likely still in its "Heisman just invented the forward pass" phase, especially where so many offenses used now seem to still run off of the theory that there will be players not able to routinely break difficult marks or throw long-range with precision. By understanding what other sports do, I hope that we can gain a greater vision of what is possible, and what we should be striving for, as a sport and as individual players or coaches. Specifically to this video, how do you counter this variety of move? Just play a little bit looser, and bite less? Disc-guard more and face-guard less? Just be faster than your matchup lol?

I would try and keep your hips more open as the defender, so that you can not over-commit and burst either way more easily once the cut is made. Stopping a good handler cut is pretty hard in general, but that’s what I try to do.

[@JackWilliams11]

I think Elan gave a great answer here! Keeping your hips open is crucial. As soon as you commit your hips in one direction, the advantage is to the offense. Similar to other sports like a football cornerback, the faster you can move with your hips open, the better you'll be able to recover and stick close to the person you are guarding.

This is an elite move🔥🔥

The problem at 2:02 is that if the handler and thrower are not familiar with each other, the thrower might decide to throw to space around to the break side just as the handler bursts upline after the hesitation.

[@jacobwh2366]

To be fair, the video explicitly says that this works best with players that know each other well and hence expect the hesitation move.

Love it Jack! makes lots of sense and I think coming from other sports its great to see the translation. Keep up the good stuff!

[@alevo5795]

Excellent.

[@iand.s.981]

Thanks man, some great content as always. Be well!

[@FLAMABLEpenguin]

Loved this! I've tried implementing this move myself in the past but hearing you break it down and compare it to other sports gave me a whole new understanding of it! I've got some new cues to try now! Thanks!

[@JackWilliams11]

Glad to hear it!

[@Mellowyellow8888]

look at the defender's hips.. which they were facing @3:54... they were a tell of how one can cut...

[@enrico8730]
