Ben, I can probably help you a bit better if you write more clearly.

There should be no osis in drifter moves, I'm not too sure where your problem is.

After the clipper set you should be pivoting your hips 90 degrees while doing the dex.

Perhaps you could try doing some stepping op clippers to get the hang of dexing the bag if that is the problem.

Yes i understand that tere should not be an osis involved in a drifter. But im saying that the bag doesn't really fall into the inside stall position like i see on videos with other people. It kinda rools into position like an osis does. Its hard to explain. maybe i can try to make a video of it. I'll see.

I guess i should try to hit some stepping clippers in order to be more familiar with the dex. But can't the dex be done as a downtime dex as well?

What Janis means by doing stepping op clip, is that while doing that your leg will get a better feel for the "drifter" style dex that it'll need to do. Which is sound device.

By the sounds of it, you might need to start the dex a little earlier.

Here's vote #1 for a drifter vid from you!

i'll see if i can make one. The thing with my camera is that i can take videos, except they don't look very good at all. I'll try to make one right now.
