Intermediate Tutorial 2: Meteor Hammer (Part 1) 

One week later and I can now perform underhand and transition to overhand and back. It's totally worth it!

Thanks Tony, interesting how you draw the comparison to poi! I didn’t even think of that. Happy flowing my friend

Yes, there is something I should have better clarified in the video actually. So you should notice that at any one time during the pattern there will be one hand which is crossed over the body and one hand which is not. Let's call the hand that's crossed over the body the 'closed' hand. You'll notice in the video that the closed hand does indeed perform 2 beats on one side before bringing the rope over to the other side and then becoming the 'open' hand (not crossed over the body) where it will perform one beat on that side. So in effect there are a total of 3 beats per side. 2 being performed by the closed hand and 1 by the open hand and then it is repeated on the opposite side. That's the best way I know of explaining it in written form! I hope that helps and this will help me explain it better in future videos hopefully

It is true that you are more likely to hit yourself with this exercise so more care must be taken but as you get better you will hit yourself less and less until you don't hit yourself at all anymore!

@@spiralflowropes thanks, will do! I wear glasses, and things like Cheetah's Tail or this one are always tricky. Very cool move, thanks for sharing! Very interesting channel.

You can visit www.spiralflowropes.com and get yourself a top quality rope for a fraction of the price of what other rope flow companies sell them for my friend!

Hello! You can actually get flow ropes from our website at www.spiralflowropes.com! We’ve got the Thunderbolt V2 12mm rope or the Inferno 14mm rope. For beginners the Thunderbolt would be an ideal choice! Hope that helps

@@spiralflowropes ah thanks for that. I will order one. Thanks, TJ. I look forward to trying to follow along with your videos. 😁

Yeah so for one hand as the hand is on the outside of the body it does one beat and as it comes across the body it does two beats. Hope that makes sense. So essentially a figure 8 with an extra beat when the hand is across the body. That's the best I can explain it

@@spiralflowropes I found it much easier to perform the exact same move on both sides.

Hi there, do you mean to transition into meteor hammer from other patterns such as underhand matador for example?

@@spiralflowropes ye, i mean from other normal flow forms

Yes, I'd like to know this too!

@@jamescheynne2879 I tried a release on underhand, just throw away the right handle and let it come back to you. U can catch the handle normal and continue to flow, or try to catch the rope in the middle, so you can transition into the meteor. Did not work really good so far, but something to practice :D
