Underhand Flick (bowling)

Description

The motion of the crack is very similar to bowling. I can be done with the palm facing forward towards your imaginary target or backwards, though most find it easier to get a good crack with the palm in the forward position.

Pre-Requisites

None

Post-Requisites

• Cow and Calf (whoosh bang)
• Sidearm Flick
• Victorian Cutback

How To

1. Start with the whip laying out straight behind you
   1. Your arm stretched out behind you at about 45 degrees in a straight line with the whip
2. Swing your arm forward until it's about 45 degrees in front of you
3. Snap the wrist forward
   1. Do not try to snap the whip back, let it roll out and either let the energy dissipate so the whip falls to the ground in front of you or anticipate that the whip will want to continue rising and allow it to continue in an arc over your head and back to the ground behind you.
