How a switching defence shuts down the horizontal stack
A switching defence covers deep and in cuts by trading players instead of chasing. Seven steps that show how it beats a standard horizontal stack, and what your cutters need to change.
Horizontal stack cutting: how the lane cutters get open
In a horizontal stack the lane cutters do the work. Four steps that show how a pair of cutters uses vertical and horizontal cuts to open the middle of the field, then attacks it.
Horizontal stack: how to reset after the first pass
A horizontal stack falls apart after the first completion unless everyone knows where to go. Five steps that show how the catcher becomes a handler and a handler fills the empty lane.
How to run a vertical stack
The vertical stack is the first offence every Ultimate team learns. Seven steps from the pull to the end zone, with the cutting order and timing that make it work.
How to break a zone defense
A 3-3-1 zone only works while the disc stands still. Crash the cup, swing while it is turned, and the whole shape falls apart: six steps, with the play to run.
