Austin
Lien is the captain of Drag’n Thrust and a total boss.
5:13
– First touch, first turn, an auspicious start for this project. Austin has a great backhand, he gets very low
on his releases and uses his legs extremely well. Right off of the pull he goes for the break
and sends it too high for the receiver.
10:04
– Austin “shows” the mark a backhand, while setting his feet up for the forehand
around. When he goes for the forehand he
is able to do so very quickly. Note how
is mark is moving toward the backhand in frame 1, then is off balance for the
forehand in frame two.
Austin does this with his back foot a lot. Rather than stepping to challenge the invert he will just show the disc to the invert lane and have his back foot inch towards the around. However, note the orientation of his feet in the first frame, when he does want to challenge the invert lane all he needs to do is step forward - no twisting motions or pivoting across his body, he is primed for a straight forward lunge.
10:50
– Austin is involved in another turnover.
He sets up super close to the disc and seems to not realize that he has
a defender filling behind him. Thrower
panics and throws a crazy throw.
11:40
– Backhand to no one. He’s really
proving something here.
23:24
– We get our first taste of Austin making a good cut.

the disc falls way out of bounds Austin goes from being behind:
