Is this move ever referred to as a FBTB?

[MangoMyers]

Yep.

[papapepepenultimo]

Now a question of my own: I am using a training bottle, but I can't avoid it to drip when I try a normal flip. Is that supposed to be that way?

[MangoMyers]

I'd like to say when I'm flairing at work, I never spill, but it's not true. It happens. The goal is to minimize it so it happens very rarely. I guess I would say a "spill" is unacceptable, a "drip" is livable. However, in this particular move - the flat behind the back - you should be able to do it without either. I have a hunch your grip is off. Grip: your wrist up, thumb touching your tailbone, fingers extended away from the body. Don't grab for it, let it hit your hand. Keep practicing!

What kinda bottle should i use to practice???....glass one or a plastic one??



[SilverBerenznoff23]

Thanks, this helped alot :)

I really enjoy the tutorial. The thing I already know I'm struggling on is the toss. Your finishing toss position is your wrist flipping toward yourself, but every time I attempt to end that the bottle hits the back end of my shoulder, when I try to add just a tad more umph to it then it's too far behind me. Does anybody have tips on the flat toss?
