Brummie says:
Try moving D1 by faking the around break first to give yourself more space to throw
V-cuts feature a sharp change of direction, and are ideal for shaking off defenders. Ensure that you sprint the cut underneath and practice planting hard before turning and accelerating away
Adding this kind of real-time decision making helps to keep defenders honest, while also developing chemistry between thrower and receiver
