Elbow Gut Flip Hammer

An elbow touch that hands the ball straight back while a cutter empties the strong-side corner through the middle. The drive goes baseline into the space the cutter just vacated, and the weak-side flare turns the help into an open corner three.

Also called: elbow flip hammer, gut decoy hammer

Phase by phase

  1. 12345

    1Phase 1

    5 pops off the block for the elbow touch while 3 runs straight up the middle — that cut is a decoy, its job is to empty the ball-side corner.

    • 5 cuts to the left elbow
    • 1 passes to 5
    • 3 cuts to the top
  2. 12345

    2Phase 2

    5 flips it back and 1 turns the corner into the empty side; 4 sets the hammer before the drive reaches the block so 2 is already flaring.

    • 4 screens for 2
    • 5 hands off to 1
    • 1 dribbles to the left dunker
    • 2 cuts to the right corner
  3. 12345

    3Phase 3

    Skip it across the baseline. If the closeout runs 2 off the line he slips to the rim, and 3 stays live at the top as the safety valve.

    • 1 passes to 2
    • 2 shoots
    • 2 cuts to the rimoption
