Step 1

We always want to try and center the disc in a Ho-stack

Step 2

2 and 3 initiate their cuts. 1 moves deep to get ready to make a continuation cut. Handlers really need to look for 2 as a real deep cut here.

Step 3

3 goes break. 2 comes under. 4 is getting ready to clear the open side. 1 is still watching to make a continuation cut.

Step 4

You start to see the diamond formation here. 3 is breaking deep. 1 is a viable deep option here. 4 is cutting break to clear the open side

Step 5

1 comes under. 3 breaks deep. 4 once again is clearing to the break side. Breakside handler 5 is running a 30 yard push to clear the handler motion and become a cutter. 6 sets up as breakside handler. 7 sets up as open side handler.

Step 6

Here you see the diamond formation again. And the rotation continues from here.

Step 7

Disc is pushed all the way to the sideline. All of the cutters jobs are to continue to push up the field--really getting used to running up the breakside to 1) clear the handler area 2) don't get in the way of the open side. Handlers need to really communicate here. Typically, 7 would round out to the break side sideline and 2 would take the primary breakside dump.

Step 8

As called

Step 9

Typically, the ho-stack breaks down here since the disc is stuck on the sideline. Once again, ho-stacks are most effective at the middle of the field. So cutters job here is to keep rotating the diamond making deep cuts and in cuts. CLEAR HARD. Handlers job is to take the swing as soon as they can. IO break here is also a good option. But the most important thing is to center the disc, even if this means losing 10 yards!!!! Do not jam an upline cut here.
