What is the next maneuver after button hooks in the drill?

• A. Spin to star
• B. Pears right at the rail
• C. Propeller
• D. Lead past through

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how you transition smoothly from one drill element to the next by taking the correct position for the upcoming move. After completing a button hook, the drill expects you to move to a position that puts you on the right side along the boundary—“pears right at the rail.” This placement preserves proper spacing and alignment, keeps you oriented toward the next action, and avoids crowding teammates. It also sets up a clean line for whatever follows, whether you’ll pivot, continue along the rail, or encounter the next cue. Other options would disrupt that flow: they either take you away from the intended line of travel, crowd others, or insert an unnecessary turn before you’re in place for the next step. So advancing to the right along the rail is the natural, efficient transition after a button hook.
