Step by step 16 steps
  1. Step 1

    The disc is on the openside sideline. This is where the defense wants the disc to be. This is the vert stack's weakest starting position. Once again, the stack is diagonal. Handler 2 is set up parallel with Handler 1.

  2. Step 2

    As usual, Handler 1 has two throwing options, but this time only one of them is a forward throw.

  3. Step 3

    Cutter 7 moves as usual.

  4. Step 4

    Cutter 7 should choose their cut accordingly (depending on the defender).

  5. Step 5

    This time, Cutter 7 makes an in-cut and receives the disc.

  6. Step 6

    Cutter 7 is under a lot of pressure. They have limited space to throw into. Handler 2 should provide a dump.

  7. Step 7

    Cutter 7 should take the easy dump option.

  8. Step 8

    We now have the disc in the same trapped position as before, but further up the field. This is ok, but a dangerous way to progress.

  9. Step 9

    Let's reset back to the default position.

  10. Step 10

    Look again at the two throwing options. In the first example, the thrower took the forward pass.

  11. Step 11

    Defenders 3 and 7 can make this option very difficult. Even if Cutter 7 makes an in-cut, the throw might not be possible.

  12. Step 12

    Handler 1 can make a movement up-the-line.

    12345671234567
  13. Step 13

    Handler 1 can then cut backwards and receive the pass backwards. This was made possible by Handler 1's initial movement.

    12345671234567
  14. Step 14

    Cutter 3 (the Anchor) should be aware of this and move to the break side for a quick pass.

    12345671234567
  15. Step 15

    Cutter 6 is now 'active', and if they are aware can receive the disc on the break side. Whether or not this last pass is successful, we have brought the disc off the sideline, which is a priority.
