  1. Step 1

    Defense is in a flick force. B1 has the disc in midfield, B2 is angled 45° back to the open side.

  2. Step 2

    The five sets up a cut to the open side, the most common initiation cut. The four begins to move.

  3. Step 3

    Five makes a cut under. Four sets up their cut.

  4. Step 4

    The handler doesn't like the downfield look, so they look wheel. We should hit wheel more often than not. At the same time, the five merges into the stack.

  5. Step 5

    We don't hit the wheel, so we hit the front of stack. While they make an easy straight line cut to the open side here, consider making a “hook cut”, where you cancel a diagonal cut into a flat cut. You can make this cut to either the open or break side.

  6. Step 6

    Now we are in our trap side vert. If possible, the reset should line up closer to flat rather than too far back. This is so they can get two looks early in the stall by cutting backfield - the inside break, and the around break. Of course, if you can win the upline, you should do so.

  7. Step 7

    Downfield cuts continue including merges. The reset looks to get the disc here, typically on an around reset. We are back in centered vert.

  8. Step 8

    In order to set up the break side vert example, let's say we hit a great inside break to the break side.

  9. Step 9

    We push upfield and start setting up our break side reset.

  10. Step 10

    Here you'll see the reset make the upline or strike cut to the breakside. Unlike other systems you may have played in, the reset does not require to pivot towards them or “open up” to initiate the upline cut, although they may. Once the stall gets to three or four, begin your upline cut. The only exception to this is if there is a downfield cut to the breakside where the cutter is wide open, in which case, let the play develop.

    We hit the fill reset.
