After catching a disc, what is the cutter's typical next step?

• A. Keep the Disc
• B. Return It to a Handler and Repeat
• C. Score Immediately
• D. Drop It

Answer: (B)

When a cutter catches the disc, the common next step is to reset the offense by passing back to a handler. The handler is the primary distributor who brings the disc back into motion and sets up the next cutting sequence. By returning the disc to a handler, the offense preserves possession, maintains tempo, and creates fresh options for more openings as teammates reposition. Scoring immediately is possible only if a clear, uncontested path to the end zone exists, which isn’t the typical step in most possessions. Holding onto the disc or dropping it disrupts flow and risks a turnover, so the usual move is to give it back to the handler and repeat the sequence.
