Vertical 8 yards (stem) then a SHARP 45°-above-horizontal break inside toward the goalpost / middle of the field, ball arriving around 11 yards (route tree #8). Beats single-high (Cover 1, Cover 3) when the safety bites, and beats Cover 2 between the safeties. Pair with a deep crosser to clear the safety. **Lowered 2026-05-25 from a 11-yd-break / 15-yd-catch default** so the route fits flag football's shorter field horizons; concepts that need a true deep post (Levels, Y-Cross, etc.) still get the longer shape by setting `depthYds` explicitly (14-18).
Demo rendered on @X (outside WR) at 13yd depth. Only the route runner and the QB are shown so the break stays the focus; the same route family scales to any depth a play calls for, and concepts that use this route may set a different depth.
