I personally think this is a practice issue. You can't just have something or some tip that will automatically get you to pick up the secondary defender, you just have to practice at it so that you develop the habit.
Makes sense btaylor but after thinking about it more & talking to few buddies, this is not the case here. Since mid-March I have only been working mens wreck & lower level HS tournaments builled as varsity tournaments.

Now that the Pro-AM season has kicked off, I'm seeing bigger, faster players that are much more skilled. Its been a while since I've had challenging plays. I just need a couple more reps & the discipline to get caught up with the speed at this level of play. Tonight I will not get caught up in the nice, quick moves!! I will look to see who could hurt me next.
