How to play Alzapua

[myballwall]

The 'speed comes from the wrist', and yet the anchored finger restricts its movement!

Does anyone else see the fallacy???

[tohz]

you say use the index as an anchor, i find when i do this i cant rotate my wrist?

Thank you a lot for this small precision about index, hand don't fly away! Very useful for me and others too ,i suppose! Gracias para esta pequeña presicion, es decir, colocar el dedo indice(o mediano..) para mentener la mano cerca de las cuerda sin que esta aga un movimiento demaciado amplio! Muchas gracias porque me ayuda muchisimo!
