Step 1

Greetings, Red is defense and blue is offense. Red pulls disc.

Step 2

Blue sets up horizontal stack. Red forces forehand throws.

Step 3

Cutter #3 will usually cut first since he is on the foreside of the disc. Cutter #2 will simultaneous set up following #3. Cutters #1 and #4 stay still, but are aware of swinging (handler throwing) , continuation (cutting following a catch) and poaching (defense playing off their man)

Step 4

In this simulation, Cutter #3 is covered by defender and needs to clear (get out of throwing path) for the next cut to happen. This is done by doing a "7-cut' breakside while looking for a break throw. Cutter #2 has the option to cut in or deep. In this case, he cuts deep at a slight angle toward the breakside. Cutter #1 fills open slot and waits for continuation or swing.

Step 5

Stack resets and awaits swing or handler reset

Step 6

Cutter #4 gets involved once the disc is caught near their sideline and responds by clearing breakside as the disc is caught to give a breakside look and opening space.

Step 7

Cutter #4 also initiates cuts off foreside swing and can set up cut by chiseling (charging at defender during the swing, then making cut)

Step 8

Continuation.

Step 9

With the horizontal stack reseted in the middle, what happens when the disc is swung breakside?

Step 10

After the swing, Cutter #2 becomes the initiation and Cutter #1 sets up.

Step 11

Cutter #2 "7 cuts" and Cutter #1 has the option and cuts in.

Step 12

One last point. The breakside cut for cutters is a option when there is a breakside throw. The next steps show an example of this.

Step 13

Normal startup

Step 14

Cutter #3 receives an breakside look while doing his 7 cut

Step 15

Cutter #1 cuts breakside and receives. Cutter #2 starts cutting deep

Step 16

Cutter #2 catches for a big gain.
