Step by step 13 steps
  1. Step 1

    Horizontal stack sets up around 15 yards away from the handler with the disc in the middle of the field

  2. Step 2

    2 and 3 activate as a pair - 3 (open side cutter) cuts under and into the break side, 2 cuts away...

  3. Step 3

    ...and then 2 comes back under into the open side to receive a leading pass. 3 continues the diamond and cuts deep...

  4. Step 4

    ...and in this instance 2 takes the deep continuation option.

  6. Step 6

    With the breakside under cut from 3, handler 6 has the opportunity to take an early IO flick option or break with a later around backhand...

  7. Step 7

    ...freeing up the break side for continuation to 2...

    ...and then to 4 who sees an opportunity to score developing.

  10. Step 10

    Let's say now that the first pass has come out (anywhere) and the cutter has chosen to reset the disc to handler 7 on the forced sideline. 4, recognising that he (and his defender) is clogging the open lane, clears, leaving the open side free for a strike cut from 6

  12. Step 12

    This time 4 clears, 6 strikes but doesn't get separation, and so 3 comes under to take the around reset.

  13. Step 13

    And now 2 and 4 have become a cutting pair in the centre of the field, and run a variation on the diamond.
