My favorite point of the weekend was my first point on the field. The pull got bricked, I lined up on the backhand center position in a ho stack. The disc gets checked in and I make a jab step deep and spin around underneath. My defender yells "Spin move! You really tried a spin move on me? That never works!" and his sideline erupts in taunting and heckles. They continued to heckle and harass and chant "Spin move! Spin move!" well after I planted, ran deep, caught the goal uncontested by 28 yards on a 30 yard cut, put the disc down and walked to the sideline. Yep, spin moves never work. They're way too obvious. Let that be a lesson to all you kids at home.

The high released* flick never works either. Just a trick throw.
Add to list of "things that should never work in ultimate:
- The "Jude-cut" in the endzone.
- The "outside-in to the inside-out side."
- Paul Batten & Nic Darling.
Any others spring immediately to mind?
*- This is different than the "high release" flick. Which I assume was thought up while, well, high. Just throw your regular flick, regular arm motion, just alter the plane along which that arm motion is executed.
