I can do it, but my main problem is that i keep spilling when I rotate the bottle in the initial part of the move. Is that something you just practice till you control the flow or does it just inevitably happen?

[MangoMyers]

@gooser562 Great question, this happens to a lot of people. 99% of the time it's because they're spinning the bottle in the first part of the move. It's really more of a light toss - your hand should leave the bottle - and then grab the bottle with the changed grip. Be sure to make the whole motion as circular as possible.

Hey you make this look easy but i'm finding it hard to coordinate both hands at once :-( can you give me any more tips to help improve useing both hands at the same time plz?? cheers and keep up with these vids!!

[MangoMyers]

Be sure to practice each hand independently. Practice just the right hand. Practice just the left. Then the right again. Then put 'em together. And when it doesn't work, keep practicing til it does.

hey man, thanks so much for all your vids, i find it quite hard to follow the hands due to the pure quality of youtube, maybe a slight slow motion shot of the full move wud help next time :D just so i can see the begining grips :D:D:D

[MangoMyers]

Thanks for the note. I didn't realize the webcam I was using had such a lagtime to it, leaving trails and making anything fast difficult to see. I'm using better equipment now that should solve that problem. Thanks for the head's up.

hey man, you are doing a great job here with the videos. Your explanations are very solid and very easy to follow, you also a good speaker. One thing that I noticed was that you do not skip steps, obviously the stuff is easy for you, however, you remember to teach it baby steps with out leaving any single details behinds. Excellent work. Keep it up. Anyways, your videos make my learning process quicker, hope to see more from you. thanks.

good moves but i dont have plastic bottle ,steel mug like u !so plz tell how i can practice!

[thetommy1903]

Could you use this and make it a pour. I know alot of people spill by accident but could you basicly spill into the cup? Ps:your vids are the best iv seen!

[martziano619]

This is the most difficult move. I mastered the bump before even managing to do this right a single time.

[midnightblue029]

Well, i gota say. Hi and thanks fore hand, great clips. Ive been bartending for the last 6yrs and ive learned 2 or 3 tricks, but it never was that important to me to learn them, as much as making good drinks. But now im so into it, and gota say that this clips have helped alot. Thanks again and keep it up. Cheers, salud
