Cover 2 Sink

Corners bail · soft Cover 2

Cover 2 where the corners bail at the snap, sinking to depth instead of re-routing. Softer underneath, safer over the top — the opposite of hard flat.

When it applies

When you fear getting beat deep but still want two-high structure.

+ StrengthsNo cheap deep shots outside; safe against double moves.
− Trade-offsGives up the entire underneath — hitch, out, and curl are free completions.
