Step by step 12 steps
  1. Step 1

    Standard vertical stack in the endzone for a centered disc. Note that the cutters are well spread so that they can cut without causing picks, and that handlers 1 + 3 are back a bit to keep their marks from poaching the lanes.

  2. Step 2

    First cut is to the BREAK side from the BACK of the stack (4). Note that the stack moves back, so that there is room for 4 to cycle to the front and 5 to be next up for a cut.

  3. Step 3

    Next cut: 5 off the back to the open side. As with every cycle, the stack moves back and the cutter that just cut joins the front of the stack.

  4. Step 4

    Another cycle - 6 goes break side off the back. Note that this shows a little wrinkle where the break side cut might be just a fade to the corner for a hammer - in this case it's important for 6 to hustle back to the front and not linger indefinitely.

  5. Step 5

    Stall count climbing past 5... time to reset! The goal is to keep the disc in the middle of the field but get a new stall count.

  6. Step 6

    Handler 3 fakes a cut upfield to create some space . It's possible he/she can burn his/her mark and just coast in for a leading throw and a score, but more likely...

  7. Step 7

    ... he/she will use that space to cut behind the handler for a short dish pass.

  8. Step 8

    Result: The disc is still middle, with a new stall count. As a bonus, handler 3 with disc might have a free backhand look while his/her mark catches up! Note cutter 7 making a breakside cut that is well timed to this reset. Regardless, you are set up to repeat steps 1-4.

  9. Step 9

    *Rewind to step 5, when we are looking for that reset. Handler 2 may alternatively look to handler 1 on the break side. NOTE that, in a game, this could (should?) be happening simultaneously with handler 3's movement (see 6-8).

  10. Step 10

    He would make the class 'up line' cut across to the open side - if he gets open, it's a score. More likely.......

  11. Step 11

    he busts back into open space......

  12. Step 12

    probably getting a moment where he has an easy backand to the breakside, just like cutter 3 did in the other scenario.
