I get that, but I was talking about fielder motioning as if to 1st, after fielding.

Don't overanticipate and expect the play to go to first.
Yes it has to be a force, forgot to say R2.

I was looking for a solution for after the SS motions to 1st, "then spins and throws to 3rd". Do you think continuing inward or trying to get back out to avoid the straight line?
