Hex Offense Decision Tree: What to Do With & Without the Disc
A clear framework for making better offensive decisions in Hex — and in any flow-based offense. This video walks through the Hex Movement Decision Tree step by step, then shows it working in real match footage from SMOG.
Disc-in-hand decisions: when to take the pass in front, when to look back to the previous thrower, when to continue the path of the disc, and when to face the centre and reset
Off-disc decisions: how to read whether to reposition, communicate, generate an option, or simply hold position and wait
Faking as a tool: why a committed fake — not a hesitation — is the correct response when a pass is marginal, and how it forces defensive commitment
