/0 Comments/in , /by

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.”
