How to do the Butterfly

A butterfly is a leg over that lands directly in a clipper delay. There is no spin in it - you set the bag, hop off one leg, pass the other leg over the bag, and catch it cross-body on the instep. Nearly every trick in this tier is built on it.

STEP BY STEP

1. From a right toe delay, set the bag up and slightly towards yourself.
2. Hop off your right leg.
3. Pass your left leg over the top of the bag.
4. Bring the right foot across behind your left leg into the clipper position.
5. Catch the bag on the inside surface of the right foot, cross-body.

TIPS

• Set slightly towards yourself, not away - a bag drifting forward cannot be clippered.
• The clipper delay has to be automatic before you add the leg over.
• There is no spin in a butterfly. If you are turning, you are doing an osis.
