I think the plant of the foot...This is good stuff.<br /><br />I think the plant of the foot depends on where exactly you want your first step to be in relation to the changing conditions on the field. <br /><br />As we've discussed, I like to cut on curves rather than straight lines. So, my foot placement on this cut would depends on where I wanted to arc this cut. Flare to break? Center my deep cut on the field? Extra step between my defender's body and the thrower hoping for a little contact? Run my deep cut down the sideline at first? <br /><br />If you take subtle angles of variation and use the strength&mobility of your ankles/hips well, you'll gain extra bits of subtle separation depending on your offensive set or the position of the thrower or whatever extra information you have that the defender lacks. <br /><br />Love reading MJ's thoughts as always.dusty.rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058725127054554344noreply@blogger.com
