What is a roundhouse cutback?

It's a cutback that arcs in a full figure-of-eight, swinging back to the breaking whitewater and rebounding off it to return to the pocket.

How is it different from a normal cutback?

A regular cutback simply turns back toward the power; the roundhouse adds the looping figure-eight and the rebound off the foam for extra flow and style.
