How To
The directions here are for doing the Wrist Roll directly in front of yourself, but keep in mind this technique can be done on several different plane, overhead, dominant side, cross body, and perhaps others.
- Spin the whip in front of you like the propeller for an airplane
- Make sure to lead the motion with the handle, the handle should point along the thong, not straight ahead. Think of your forearm as the axle for the propeller, not the whip handle.
- There's a point where your wrist will "break". This is the moment where your wrist can't turnover any further, so you point the handle forward for a moment before returning it to the plane of rotation.
- Instead of letting your wrist "break", open your hand and let go of the whip
- Let the whip roll across the back of your hand and back into your palm
- A slight circular motion with your hand may help, but try not chase the whip, let it come back to you.
