This drill is named ball breaker because it forces (via turnover) players to break out of old habits and to invert their pivots.  It is also very punishing to a team or player that turns the disc over a lot.  As opposed to Ultimate where there are seven players and a person can be defensive specialist, in Ball Breaker, you're forced to handle the disc early and often.
