Spinning Down Double Down (Scorpions Tail)

Spinning Down Double Down (Scorpions Tail)
CLIP > BACKSPIN [BOD] >> OP OUT [DEX] > SAME OUT [DEX] > OP CLIP [XBD][DEL]

Ahoy there. I have been having some trouble hitting this move. I have a good spinning and a good downtime double dex, but I always seem to hit the bag on the second dex. Any tips?
Hopefully back one day.

school your double downs so that paradon etc is pretty easy. Spin and turn your head early to spot the bag, and begin lifting the dexing leg a bit earlier so that the first dex happens fairly quickly. This should give you more time for the second dex and it will better ensure cleanliness.

"Well jimmy, spin really fucking fast. Then spot it and swing you leg around it as fast as you can."

Try starting the dexes symple but ending them normal. Like the whole move with much less shuffle step. Doing the dexes with your thigh and calf instead of knee and ankle.

or

Try setting lower and spinning faster in the beginning and then throwing your arms way out to slow down and hit the dexes and clipper.

Also use a lead in

Try doing spinning osis infinity spinning clipper THEN scorpions tail THEN osis or spinning anything.

I find it easier to set the spin behind you as you are already half way around. When I do my down double downs I like to step back and jump into it like a same butterfly. When I do scorpion's tail I spin, then spot the bag. After that I do the first dex leggy and seeing as I have jumped into it I then go straight to a butterfly. The first dex I reckon needs to be done wide and then once you do that bring it up inside under your upper leg, then once on the other side go into a butterfly. Or well thats the way I do it :D

I just started sealing up this move and somthing I find that helps is practicing neck height set paradons.
I realized I could bust barfly paradon ect with ease but only because they were set belly button height or lower. practice HI set double downs and scorpions gets alot easier.
same goes with mobius spinning whirl void ect...
