I guess it depends on the experience of the defender. If it's at least a semi-experienced player, you could probably assume that they would expect the attacker to make that cut. Still, the cut described makes the most sense in the situation above. Cutting the other way would mean the thrower would have to throw a break-force, which has a much higher chance of being blocked. Also, if the defender is too careless because they expect a certain type of cut, it can open up other options for the attacker. Consider the case where the defender expects the cut described above, and hangs back to block the latter part of it. As the attacker has taken such a hard step to start the fake, they're in a good position to keep running in that direction if the defender lags behind. Then they can either continue on and get far enough around the thrower's defender that thrower can throw them an easy break-force throw, or the attacker can cut in front of their defender and cut back across to the force side for an even easier throw. Hope that helps :) Good question. I guess it depends on the experience of the defender.

My question is that would the defender know that he would make that cut. the force is backhand so the defender should always be able to be between the cutting player and the handler? Hey guys.

Wasn't sure that was right so I thought I'd let you know both the long cut and the berkley cut have non matching animations. the long cut shows the short cut and the berkley cut shows stack flow… Wasn’t sure that was right so I thought I’d let you know
