2-Turns: Shifts

Shifts

Two turns add a 360° rotation to a motion.

Pro

With a double-turn prospin, notice the 45° angle at the halfway position.

Prospin with two turns: the staff rotates twice along one arc from east to south.

A base prospin (ASA isolation) has no thumb switches. With two turns it has two (in → out → in).

Anti

A double-turn antispin is easier to see in thirds. At each third, a staff end reaches the center.
