I made a butterfly tutorial for my youtube channel.
I really hope you enjoy it!
Is there any possibility to add it to the wiki?

Thanks!



There are english subs!

Great tutorial! I like that you're smiling throughout the whole video - positive vibes!

Very clear tutorial, as usual when they come from you
But there's one thing that I don't like about this one: You're almost gripping the ball when you "wipe" it from the cradle to your palm. I think the trick looks a lot better when you keep the hand/fingers flat and don't wrap them around the ball. It looks nicer and makes it easier to directly go into arm rolls.

Also, a little comment concerning your subtitles: English is not my mother tongue, but I've never heard the term "increase your domain in XYZ". It's clear (to me, at least) what you mean, but I don't think that that's correct English (native speakers, please correct me if I'm wrong ).

thanks for the feedback!

I get it, so, it'd be better to use something like "improve"... or do you have any other suggestion?

I'd say this is actually the reverse butterfly, there is a smoother and visually more appealing way to do it. Take the same figure 8 pattern but make the ball travel in the opposite direction. At the moment, you are leading with the ball and your fingertips, try leading from your elbow instead.

I don't get it really well Elasie, can you record a video or something?

Here you go.

Basically if you took your butterfly clip and reversed it in your video editor programme you'd get the same result



I started by showing you how you are doing it (reverse) and then I changed direction afterwards. At the end I showed you what I mean about leading with the fingertips (reverse style) as opposed to leading with the elbow (forward style).

I remember the moment well when I realised I'd been going the opposite direction to most other people, and all of a sudden I was able to butterfly as smoothly as everyone else! I could never quite understand why mine always felt clunky.

wow! Thanks Elsie! I haven't noticed it!

But when I do it the other way I don't see a big difference... mine still a little 'choppy'.
