Once your leg is above the bag turn towards it using that same push off of your toe. after this your body and leg and foot should fall into place (assuming your osis is well trained) and it's very important to get a good bend in the support knee when landing into this trick, otherwise you won't get a good set (it'll probly go flying off horizontally). if your leg tries to whirl instead of reverse whirl, maybe some far osis and osis>ss butterfly drills would help. I'm sure I missed something.. hope this helps a little.
So articulate and dead on from my experience.

Agreed. Especially since the bag seems to hang beside a tilted clipper delay at first but as you settle in your foot cradles it.

My experience is that reverse whirl requires a much bigger hop. I usually only have to hop during dyno when I either set too high, too strangely, or I am hitting it from a dive or "paradox". Don't get me started on how silly I think it is that reverse whirl and dyno don't get paradox adds. So what if they are easier.

Great detail. It sounds pretty accurate.

My experience is that you really need push yourself brutally past and underneath it. The feel is much more mid-time (fast) until you finally slow down to rotate and delay the bag.

Sporatical_Distractions wrote:Setting from a clipper that is a little bit behind you helped me out a lot. It allows for more dexing space than if the clipper set is closer to your support leg.
I think this is so important. Particularly if you are just getting used to the motion or learning another side, setting behind and slightly across helps open my window faster for super low, economical (regarding energy expenditure) dynos.
That's my experience. Everyone's is different, but I thought I would at least give you my best advice using some the great advice already posted.
