Yeah, absolutely, speed is key.
When I, Andy, Hyper do this circling the goal thing, it's in those double/triple goalie situations and I'm usually trying to find an angle for a sneaky shot or pass. By definition, in those situations the defense is static and my momentum can get me back in time to quash any pathetic attempt at a break. Sometimes it requires my teammate to pressure the opponent with the ball, but I can get back to mid-court pretty darn quick, thus blocking the pass.
I haven't really tried Stu's take on it as a rebound thing though. I've always done it when I have possession.
Talking about polo moves is so hard. We need proper words for things!
