Houston can best be described as an evolution from the GO family. It has also been described as Go “Flag” in the past. The is also Houston “Special” or “Scissors.” Sometimes the play can be more successful without having an adjuster as it can put the secondary in enough of a bind. A misconception about the play is that it wants to hit the homerun shot. Sure, but the biggest misses come from not taking the flat or the drag route from #1.
