A distinction on layouts

Here is where I am on layouts

"I will layout if it is the only way I will catch the disc"

Here is where I need to be

" I will layout to catch the disc before my opponent does."

A small distinction I guess, probably rather obvious to D-machines who think about it, but important. As it is, I layout on deep throws, on throws that are to the side of me, but hardly ever on direct in cuts. Because on direct in-cuts, I know I am going to intersect the flight path eventually. I need to get to the point of laying out around people, to get to it sooner and increase my odds of getting a D.
