A traditional horizontal stack setup. Notice this time that defenders 5 and 6 are set up to take away the in (for 5) and the out (for 6).
Let's say that our cutters 5 and 6 make the same cuts they made in our best-case scenario, but this time they're covered.
Cutter 6, after not getting the deep look, should plant and come back under. This will usually be open, since defender 6 is sprinting to defend the deep look, but let's say that somehow defender 6 covers things perfectly and the under is shut down as well. Notice cutter 5 clearing hard to the sideline to make space, and cutter 7 moving downfield a bit to keep good spacing between the two cutters.
At this point the stall will be getting up there, so handler 1 should look dump. One common look is the quick pitch to hander 3 coming to the break side. This is good because (a) defender 3 is often trailing handler 3, giving a quick break look and (b) it keeps the disc in the middle of the field. Handler 1 should throw and move quickly out of the space to give handler 3 a throwing lane. Notice how our live space is totally free thanks to cutter 6 clearing hard — this is a great thing for cutters and a very dangerous thing for defenders.
Our first live cutters, 5 and 6, got shut down — now it's time for 4 and 7 to get into the action. Cutter 4 should make an agressive move into the live space, either for a quick break throw from handler 3 or a more traditional cut. In this case, let's say handler 3 gets off a quick break throw to 4. Notice cutter 7 setting up a cut with good hard steps deep, looking to then come in for 3 or 4 (whomever has the disc).
Now we're flowing. Cutter 7 got their defender to commit to the deep look, leaving them free to plant, turn, and come in for a clean under. This is the time it is *crucial* for 5 and 6 (in this position) to be pushing downfield to make sure 7 has a next look.
Defender 6 didn't respect cutter 6's speed, and we score the fast break.
