Dominant osis??

Post by Muffinman »

I have found a lot of players bail to only one osis and avoid the other almost completely. A lot of players will bail to far osis to get that "safe osis" rather than the same side. I have this problem; I only really bail to one osis. I want to know if this is a common problem and how people have dealt with it. I will always either bail, now, to osis on one side or infinity on the other.

I use both osis - but I tend to only use one pdx mirage - which isn't because the other is weaker - but my toe sets are particularly strong - so on oneside I'm more likely to hit blurriest>pdx mirage while on the other I'd probably hit blurriest>osis - so I guess I use one more than the other - but it's because of my pdx mirage not my osis - one side is my strong blender side and the other is my strong dyno side :?

Though i can osis on both sides fairly well, it is just in my style to use my right side osis more often. I can osis fairly equal on both sides, but in the long run during strings, i find myself bailing to my right side osis > pdx mirage.

For some reason, I can step and zoom out of my `weak` osis much better. Maybe its cause i concentrate more when doing it. If I have to bail, I will use my strong osis, but if I want to show off cool stuff out of osis, I am way WAAAY more likely to use my weak osis. On the other hand, all my hard moves ending on osis (torque, blender) tend to use my strong osis.

i have good osis on both sides i did 40 consecs last year and havne;t tried since then
but one is definitly stronger than other
on my right i can zoom and step out of osis moves easier
i have to really concentrate on the other side
my pdx is a bit the same
its a bit weird
i think most players favour one pdx mirage and have idiosyncratic bails

I have been drilling both of them lately.

I think matt cross has the best osii ever.

I think that mine are happily equal.

Weak side? Flipside? What's that? Something you eat?

I usually bail to my strong osis because my weak osis is not up there
yet, but I can duck much easier out of my weak osis.

Zooming is when you spin out of osis.

Mine are equal, but when it comes to bailing its always to my strong, even if it is far.

You mean Backspinning right? Not Inspinning?

my right one is much more strong but I do have both of em, the left one is actually newly acquired, but seems to be getting good, the butterfly drills I've been doing lately seems to help my osisises

I like how everyone was sure to put, but I can do both.

I think you are totaly acurate in your hypothosis eric.
The best thing is to be consiouse about it. As long as you can torque and spinging osis both sides I think only bailing to one side is fine. You don't need to be both sided in your bails because they are BAILS and you want them as few and as far between as possible.


and I can hit both osis :wink:

When I learned osis, I was doing it on both feet, so mine are equal.
