Whirl
STEP 1: clipper position (back straight, shoulders back, bag between shoulders, support knee slightly bent, support foot turned in slightly
STEP 2: push off the toes of support foot, set footbag between knee and waist height
STEP 3: straighten dexing leg and swing it away from body 90 degrees relative to where your (new) support foot points immediately after the first hop
STEP 4: When dexing leg reaches parallel with the ground, point the toes of the dexing foot (can also turn foot inwards slightly, and bring your heel to your butt to dex (horizontal movement). It is important to abduct and isolate the knee. Never bring it towards your stomach!
STEP 5: lower the heel of the dexing foot as you bring your knees back to parallel and shoulder with.
STEP 6: Magic hop as the dexing foot lands and do a normal clipper.
Key points:
- upper body stays isolated throughout
- dexing leg is at its highest point and clearing the dex at the footbag's peak
- think of the trick as two parts for timing: one hop switch feet and clear the dex, second hop switch feet magic hop stall. both parts take the same amount of time.
For reverse whirl, do the exact same steps for the dex but in reverse!

Yeah Kam i've hit like 20 consecutive whirls both sides before and done countless drills with whirls but mine are still not dialed. If i tried right now i would probably only make about 8. For whatever reason i cant school this trick hopefully some of this will help
