Any tips on this one? I suppose schooling ATWs til they turn into DATWs would be a good start.

I think the key with reaper is to attack the bag early. I really aim to dex the bag beginning as close to my knee as possible. Also keep it fairly tight. You set straight up and as the bag is going up keep the leg high with a nice knee lift and hop sideways to get the first dex. When you get the technique right it can be fairly slow and controlled - speed is not essential for this move.

You say here set the bag straight up but I'd like a little more clarification, please. (This is a move that I can't hit but I think I'm probably not too far away since my DOUBLE SWITCH is tight and my PARADOX is improving all the time (I know there's no PARADOX add in REAPER).Jeremy wrote:I think the key with reaper is to attack the bag early.

My confusion is really how straight is straight?
Setting straight up from a CLIPPER essentially means that you have to "PARADOX". Informally: swivel your hips around by less than 90 degrees but greater than 45 degrees, right? Said differently, my question is whether one sets the bag across or goes after it with a paradox like turn? (I know there is no PARADOX add, but I'm not concerned about that, just what my body should be doing. Neither am I interested in starting the great PARADOX debate, I just want to hit REAPER ).
Thanks,

Straight up means so that if you don't touch the bag it will land in the exact same spot it was set from - ie. 90 degrees from the ground - perpendicular to the ground.
Regarding your comments about pdx - I think if you watch most players - particularly Vasek - since I got this from watching him - when they do pdx moves rather than twisting their hips - they hop sideways to put the bag into the position they want it for - then do the dexes. If you have the opportunity - watch sick '03 and the start of Ales' section where he is doing consecutive barflies - that's the hop I'm talking about.
A general tip for footbag is that the bag should always go straight up (as described) and unless you're doing a move that has a spin in it's jobs' notations you should face the same direction through out your shred. Obviously none of us are perfect - that's just what your goal should be.

Terrific comments, thank so much!
I've noticed what you said regarding my PDX DLO, although only in hind sight after reading what you've written. In my blog, I talk about attacking the bag, which was my (unclear) way of saying jump away (sideways) and then towards it (back over).
I think you may have made the connection for me.
