Tobe Decraene’s Run’n’Gun Loophole

Throwing whilst running is allowed in the rules of Ultimate – Tobe Decraene heard about this loophole and has been using it to his advantage as much as possible – including against the USA’s travel calls in the World U24 Championships Final. WFDF Rules Chair Rueben Berg discusses the legality of the move, Felix looks at the technique and training needed to do it yourself, and we break down multiple examples of the move being used by Decraene in the 2023 season – scrutinising each clip for potential travelling. Will this Run’n’Gun move take off next season?

Vision While Cutting – A Subtlety of Cutting Technique

In this Patreon only video Noah talks about something he noticed whilst making a previous video.

“Brice Vanhee give-gos up line whilst looking for the return pass and deliberately turns inwards to maintain eye contact and face Deridder up until the moment Deridder finds another option. It’s only subtly different to the more common alternative – turning outwards and clearing deep, but I think this cutting technique could decrease miscommunication turns as the cutter is always ready to receive the disc in a similar way to how clap catching with the correct hand on top of the disc decreases drops.”
