Boston DiG Superdump!

The Boston DiG Superdump! showcases a bold and innovative strategy in ultimate frisbee, drawing attention from teams due to its unorthodox approach to deep resets. Dubbed "the super dump," this technique represents an uncommon strategy from a team with some of the latest roster pickups. Featuring players like Rowan Jeff, Babbit, and Simon Carapella, who are known for their elite play, Boston DiG's deep resets offer significant advantages in spacing and angle. By setting up steeper angles and isolating defenders on uncomfortable islands, the offense gains a significant advantage, particularly around the shallow lanes in front of their vertical stack. The video highlights how this strategy takes to the extreme, taking big losses of yardage to gain more in other categories, such as field position and open up spaces elsewhere like deep or inside brake lanes.

Witness insane drives and puts at the Boston DiG Superdump tournament with Paul McBeth, Ricky Wysocki, and top pros in intense competition!
