Eggbeater, clipper-set (Bubbabeater)

Post by DoctorJay »

Eggbeater, clipper-set (Bubbabeater)
CLIP > OP OUT [DEX] > OP OUT [DEX] > SAME TOE [DEL]

I have lots of difficulties in doing some illusioning tricks.
i thought that I should start with bubba beaters.

Any good advice?

Well if you can hit eggbeater you shouldn't have any trouble with that move seeing as it IS an eggbeater. All I can think of is to really jump into the second dex and practice.

try not to arc the bag with the set from the clipper to the front of you. say you were setting from your right clipper. Set straight up, and as the set foot is going back down and the first dex leg is rising for the illusion, hop to the left a little bit to get the bag in front of you. Don't set higher than the middle of your chest. that should position it right for the eggbeater. and, as max said, practice far symple legover.
BRICK!

Far symple legover
Could someone pleas explain how to do this trick? Thanks

And back on topic; I suggest you try clipper set illiusion (bubba) first, now for bubba beater you have to turn your body more to the bag (e.g. left foot clipper set - turn your body to the right. If you want to learn illusion really from the scratch you maybe want to begin with legovers done the "hoping" way. Means you set from your toe and befor you plant your setting leg again you jump with the other foot and perform the dex while both feet are in the air. Daryl does legovers that way and he picked up illiusion (clean ones!) so freaking quickly :) Good luck and hope to see you here in Munich soon again!

the best way to get consistent bubba beaters is to do exactly what matt said. set the bag straight up, not to the side or in front of your body. the move is done the easiest with deep dexes with your bubba leg, so keep the set pretty close to your body but not too close. this will leave plenty, and i mean plenty, of time for your legover to catch the bag. Also, right when your bubba leg starts on its way down, jump off your current support leg and bust out the legover. the straight set, deep bubba, and quick switch. concentrate on these and you'll have it in no time

Today I hit my first bubbabeater.

The clue was to improve the illusioning part of the bubba.
I control the movement of my illusioning leg more by my knee so the knee came more inward and I saved a lot of time putting it to the ground.

I tend to do my illusions a little bit "the" by doing the part really leggy- not hippy style- in my opinion this kind of execution makes the move much harder.


It is so interesting that in this sport you feel like a newbie everytime you find a new key which improve your game.

I guess it is all about optimizing your basics and the sky will be the limit.

hmmmm . . never knew what a bubba beater was. Perhaps I shall have to try this one out. I'm drilling symposium legovers in order to get better at eggbeaters. . well. I haven't had time to add in the symp. legovers into my skooling but it'll happen as soon as I accomplish some of my simpler goals first.

But when I do? Eggbeater and bubba beater will be doused with beesauce.
