A classic vertical stack setup. Two handlers, five cutters. Cutter 3 is about 7-10 yards downfield from the disc. If the force is flick, the stack should set up slightly on the break side to make sure there's plenty of open-side space to attack.
The first cut comes from the back, often on the open side (though you can go break side if you want). We want to make sure the back of the stack is close enough that a deep cut is a viable threat. In the case, cutter 7 makes three hard steps deep to sell the defender on the deep look.
If things go well, defender 7 has to respect the deep, and cutter 7 can come under for a gainer. The rest of the stack should push downfield, and cutter 6 should be setting up their cut next. Notice that defender 6 has to swing around to protect against the deep look — if defender 6 didn't protect against the deep, cutter 6 could just take off and we'd have a quick score.
Since defender 6 committed to protecting against the deep, cutter 6 can come under for another gainer. Notice the stack continuing to push, and cutter 5 setting up their cut.
Let's say defender 5 does well and takes away the first endzone look. While cutter 5 is going, the stack should form up, being careful to stay in the middle of the field and not crowd the sideline. Notice too cutter 7, the first cutter to receive the disc, is clearing back to the stack but is going *around* handler 1 in order to keep the dump area clear.
Cutter 5 clears hard back to the stack, and while they're clearing cutter 4 makes a cut and the stack continues to push downfield. Cutter 4 is also covered, so cutter six starts to look dump.
Cutter 6 dumps the disc, and the front of the stack, cutter 7, makes a cut for the continuation throw.
Cutter 7 gets the swing and cutter 5 cuts for the breakside goal. This is a case where spacing is *crucial* — if cutter 5 is too close to cutter 3, defender 5 will be picked.
Goal on the breakside. Vertical stack utilizes the breakside as a crucial part of the offense, both in the field and in the endzone.
