De La X strips my balance
Phase · Guard PassingCommon situation
The foot gets wrapped and balance is gone before the sweep starts.
Likely cause
There's no reverse X clear to lean on, so each scramble starts cold.
Coaching cue
Watch what happens right before the problem shows up. That is where the fix lives.
Watch for during rolling
During rolling, look for what is missing early in the exchange. When it is absent, the problem usually follows.
