Cutting Thought: Know When to Cut, and When to Run
(No Ratings Yet. Click to Rate!)
Loading ...This is a simple thought.
So, I’ve already touched upon the importance of being fit as a cutter.
Part of being a good cutter is recognizing the capabilities of the person defending you. Know when you’re evenly matched (or overmatched), and need to pick your spots and really set up the space you attack, and know when your defender is a chump and you can just run.
This is a powerful notion. It’s all well and good to set up your cuts–and please do make sure you still create and attack space–but if your defender will be a step or two behind you without juking, do you really need to spend 2-3 stall counts attempting to gain that extra separation?
Sometimes the answer is yes. But learn when you can pick a direction and go.
