  2. Step 2

    The disc swings to the sideline we're forcing to. We can now initiate a sideline trap, called "hardest", where the goal is to force the offense to make the hardest throw possible.

  6. Step 6

    The offense is forced into a difficult dump throw (short distance, leading, inside-out forehand). The mark (1) should be able to get their hand or foot out to increase the throw's difficulty. Meanwhile, our defender (2) should be able to make a play on the leading throw.
