When the disc is on the breakside sideline, the vert stack should set up diagonally. For the first example, let's assume the defence sets up as normal.
There are two throwing options available to Handler 1. Cutter 7 must try to receive a pass in either direction.
Because Defender 7 is guarding the open side, Cutter 7 can cut to the free space on the break side.
Cutter 7 now chooses whether to make a deep-cut or in-cut.
This time Cutter 7 makes an in-cut, and receives the pass. Handler 2 moves in to receive a dump. The stack moves backwards.
Handler 2 receives the dump. Cutter 6 is now 'active' so should start to cut.
Cutter 7 rejoins the stack. We are now back in the initial position.
Cutter 6 again chooses which cut to make. They should asses where their defender is and make an in-cut or deep-cut.
This time, Cutter 6 makes a deep-cut and scores.
Let's reset and go back to the default position. For this second example, notice Defenders 3 and 7. They have seen the danger of the example above, and have moved to better positions.
The number of throwing options is reduced to one lane across the field.
Cutter 7 must recognise this and make their cut towards that lane.
Cutter 7 can run all the way toward the disc here, and aim to receive a pass close to the middle of the field.
Handler 2 then moves in to receive the dump pass.
The team resets to the default Vert Stack position.
Let's reset and go back to the default position once more. Defenders 3 and 7 are still in good positions guarding that break side. But now notice Defender 2 also positioning away from Handler 2.
Those two throwing options are now not available at all.
In this case, Handler 2 can receive an easy dump.
If they are aware, Cutter 7 can now make an easy in-cut.
Cutter 3 (the anchor) might also be free to receive the disc.
Or Handler 1 might complete a give-go move.
The give-go move is a good, easy option, and the Handlers have now got the disc in the middle of the field.
The vert stack can reset back to it's most comfortable position.
