Whip with Inside Turn

intermediate

also known as: Inside Turn Whip · Inside Whip

A whip in which the follower takes an inside (counter-clockwise) turn on counts 5–6 as they travel back down the slot.

The turn is prepped by the leader's raised hand around the post; the follower's travel and the whip timing don't change. Often the first whip variation taught because it isolates one new skill — turning while maintaining whip geometry — without changing the pattern's skeleton.
