I am just starting to land FS 3's and I read in tip from Shawn Murray in a mag to focus on passing the handle palm to palm instead of palms up. Since then I have landed one 360 both ways.

What do most people do out there? Up until then I'd only tried palms up. palm to palm seems harder but it's how I landed my first one so should I stick to this?

I don't pass like a baseball grip, I do pass the other way. I think that it's just easier to pass the handle in a manner that is uniform. But if you like to spin that way, then go with it and fly. It could be an integral part of your style.

I haven't had much experience with it, but it is possible that it could get in your way at times. I also feel like it is a more natural movement of the arms to pass palms up. I can reach lower with palms up than I can for the baseball grip. The palm to palm method seems to make you pass higher up on your back.

I recently heard turn your palm up and put your knuckles on your butt which has helped me tremendously on the handle pass (before i just "went for it" and never got it). If you can pass either way then who cares Smile Do what you want Wink
