Those blue and orange magnets move around in my head when I'm trying to sleep
Stuff of nightmares :)
Rowan just pumping out the content post nationals. Good stuff, thanks!
A small window to share as much as I can. Really hard in the season. Unless I get a video editor... Anyone!?
This is great. Seeing some examples in real life might help beginners though too - the board is awesome, but being able to visualise what it looks like on the field would be super useful, even if just back to the board afterwards

Hi Rowan, I see some teams running 3 handlers back when running vert. Could you share with us your thoughts on 2 handlers vs 3 handlers?
Can you do an defensive orbiting video in this whiteboard format?
Lmao the Gatorade cap
Have you ever encountered a flex defense? It's a strategy of defense designed particularly for shutting down vert. As far as I know it was created by Felix from Hive Ultimate and he seems convinced that vert is on its way out because of it. Just curious if you're familiar and have a take on it
Brackets are common against a vert. Nobody uses hex or flex in pro/ elite ultimate where I play.
use floods (two players cutting into bracketed space) or handler initiate with focus on initiating from front of stack to counter brackets. Great overview.
Just paid for a year of excel for the high school team I coach. Thanks Rowan and the DC crew.
@@mdicus99 Hey Mark, thank you for the support and your time you put into coaching. Hope y'all have a great season and let me know if you ever come around the DMV region for a tournament! -Rowan
@@RowanMcDonnell hoping Brooklyn tech gets an invite to YULA! Just purchased an excel membership. Highly recommend.
How do you choose between running ho or vert? As a competitive club team mid ranked in my country but with just a couple practices a week, I actually think we don't have time to cover both in one season. What things are there to consider in picking one over the other? Thoughts anyone?
If the defense plays any type of zone you would want to use ho over vert as they would most likely have someone covering/camped in the open side in the throwing lane on a vert. Ho is also good for teams with depth at handler since you can put three on the field at once.
Teaching this to high school students. I want to mention
- as the cutter, notice when the mark is cheating a lot. When they do, it means you can get the disc to the break side much more easily. Which means your next pass will be a lot easier and easier to score
- try to beat your defender to the open side by dragging them to the break side first if possible...
- I don't know about brackets yet for defense on juniors
- play differently on the trap side and flat side and middle
- clear hard and as if you are cutting for the disc to keep your defender occupied. You have options. deep, 7 cut, Or to the stack in the middle somewhere.
- teach OS reset cutting, especially the wheel to get the disc to the break side/flat side
- trap side reset and rule of middle line for swing continuation going break side
Do you have an excel option for teams? Like a subscription that a team can share
we do! email us at info@excelultimate.com and I can share the option
Hi Rowan, is that code for a free month still good? Just tried it and seems its dead now.
could you please please do Ho , Split + Side Stack ?
All on excel ultimate! I’ll get around to them here eventually
@@RowanMcDonnell AMAZING , I am 100% going to purchase that. Your content has been OUTSTANDING , especially recently , thanks so much
Maybe some advanced vert stack?
We have a full 6 episode course on Vert Stack at excelultimate.com!
Did he explain poaches int he stack?
2 tips against poaches: 1)clear hard. 2) cut to the breakside
Problems with the vert stack. If you don't know what are the main problems that kill vert stack flow, then you won't know when and what to adjust
- the stack creeps towards the sideline as the disc moves down the same third open side. The more you creep towards the disc, the more you crowd the active space. That means that any cutter trying to get open will be easily poached. Moreover, they will have fewer yards to develop their cut towards the thrower, which means less time for the thrower to react.
- The stack doesn't move back. This can suffocate the thrower's options since they won't have the ability to use both sides of the stack if the stack doesn't move downfield ahead of the thrower.
- The stack is too close together. Cutters should spread out about 2 yards from each other. When you're within arms reach of each other you risk picks stopping your flow and even running into each other
- The front of stack cuts off the back. It's most advantageous for the BOS to cut since they'll gain more yards on an under. So when you're in the FOS position, you ought to know whether it's your cut or the BOS's cut.
