- Initial setup. A thrower, 1, sets up on the brick, marked by D1. A reset, 2, stands 5m to the break side. A cutter, 3, stands 10m downfield of 1 and 5m towards the open side. Another cutter, 4, stands level with 4, 5m from the break sideline.
- 3 cuts to the break side underneath.
- Scenario 1 - 1 throws a break to 3. As soon as throw goes to 3, 2 is attacking up field for dishy. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/cut-underneath-break/
- Quick dish to the handler, 2. In a game, 2’s defender is likely trailing, making this move hard to defend. Meanwhile, 4 sees throw developing and starts setting up next move by moving away from the sideline; this provides a wider throwing lane for the next pass.

- 2 now has power position with trailing defender and the break side lane is open. 4 has set up cut, now cuts away. 2 throws continuation to 4 cutting away. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/straight-away-throw-to-diagonal_trap-cut/
- Scenario 1a - 4 turns underneath and 2 throws to them. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/away-to-open-under/
- Scenario 2 - If 1 is unable to throw to 3, 3 clears wide, keeping their head up; this means they can still be a valid target during their clearing move. Now that 3 has cleared wide, and with the stall count climbing (now around 4 or 5), it’s time to initiate handler offence. 2 cuts upline from the break side. Meanwhile, 4 sets up their cut by moving away from the sideline slightly. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/sideline-power-position-trap-force/
- 2 catches in power position and 4 cuts away. 2 throws continuation to E cutting away. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/diagonal-away-throw-to-straight-cut/
- Scenario 2a - 4 turns underneath and 2 throws to them. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/away-to-open-under/
