- Initial setup. A handler, 1, has the disc in the middle of the field, marked by D1. A cutter, 2, stands 5-10m downfield, slightly towards the open side, guarded by D2.
- D1 begins by checking the disc in. 2 is trying to cut towards the break side, but is being prevented from doing so by D2. 2 therefore uses this to block D2 from defending the open side. Note: even if D2 isn't directly blocking 2's path, if D2 is over-committed to defending the break side, then this pattern will be successful.

- 2 should push towards the break side before turning and cutting to the open side. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/diagonal-lead-pass/
