How to do the Clipper

The clipper crosses your dominant foot in front of your body to stall or control the bag on your non-dominant side. It is a crucial linking move for combos and one of the most-used body positions in freestyle footbag.

STEP BY STEP

1. Let the bag drift slightly to your non-dominant side.
2. Cross your dominant foot in front of your body, swinging it toward the bag.
3. Meet the bag with the inside of your dominant foot in a controlled stall or light strike.
4. To stall: absorb the contact and hold the bag on your inside shelf.
5. To kick through: follow through so the bag pops upward and returns to center.
6. Reset your stance and continue the sequence.

TIPS

• Rotate your hips as you cross — power and reach come from hip rotation, not just leg swing.
• Keep the cross low and controlled; wild swings destroy balance.
• Drill the footwork without the bag: cross in front → reset → cross. Make it automatic.
