speed/free pouring takes a lot of practice. this video is slightly miss leading as for consistency the bottle should be held completely vertical as liquid travels slower out of a pourer the lower the angle.

Because there are millions of deaf/hard of hearing people living in USA and they're unable to understand what the video is saying. Since I'm profoundly deaf, I'm very grateful to be able to see this video with CC! Does this answer your question?

[Muusicca]

these aren't even tips, its just common sense that'll come by naturally if you're to lazy to use the jigger....

[Silwerzz]

......Or u just take the bottles in ur hand and go with the countingtechnique -.-

If you're not sure on your measurement, you're breaking the law and putting the customer at danger. If in doubt... Jigger. It doesn't look as professional as free pouring (which should be done vertically) but at least the customer will be buying what they asked for.
