Hey there folks,

I tried searching on this topic but I found alot of general breakaway technique instead of specific 5-hole strategies. I figure a butterfly is the most popular way to deal with 5hole shots on breakaways and it has worked for me well to this point, but recently i've played with some pretty good college and jr players and have been rethinking my technique because of their quick releases. I was just wondering who of you guys/gals use a single knee drop with one leg and small c-cut with the other leg to plug the 5-hole on a quick shot. Personally i find it much easier and quicker to execute this technique vs a normal b-fly when you're backing up pretty quick on a breakaway. Is this a sensible technique to use regularly or is it a road to bad habits? Also, if the technique is pretty legit, is it better to put the stick side leg or glove-side leg down? Any help/feedback would be great. Thanks!
