How to do the Osis

An osis is a full body spin that finishes in a clipper delay. The bag passes behind your back while you turn, and you pick it up cross-body on the far side - your first trick where the whole body rotates.

STEP BY STEP

1. Set from a toe or clipper delay on the other foot, straight in front of you, about waist high.
2. Set it in front of you, not behind - a trailing bag cannot be caught out of a spin.
3. Turn so the bag passes behind your back.
4. Keep your head turning ahead of your body so you pick the bag up early.
5. Drop into the clipper position and take the delay cross-body as you come round.

TIPS

• Spot the bag as early as you can in the turn; late eyes are what kill an osis.
• Set it straight in front of you - this is the single most common cause of a miss.
• Bend deep as you come out of the spin. Standing tall leaves no room for the clipper.
