Whip with Inside Turn

A whip in which the follower takes an inside (counter-clockwise) turn on counts 5–6 while traveling back down the slot. The follower's travel and the whip timing do not change, and it is often the first whip variation taught.

Robert Royston defines an inside turn as the lead hand passing inside, between the two partners, where an outside turn sends the lead hand away from the body.¹ The lead hand begins rising on "3-and" into count 4, so the follower knows about the turn before it arrives on 5.² The partners need room at the redirection, because crossing the hand in front crowds them if they are too close on the "3-and".³
