    Does anyone know of a good reverse powerpass tutorial, or can give me some advice on it? I see on YouTube only short videos of people performing the trick, but that's no help. It's the push that the problem, from 34 slot. I just can't release it cleanly, or with any momentum. Sad face. mpc

    I call bulls**t on this video. The inverse tricks are the same footage, just on rewind. There are no other good videos I can find either. :(

    Hmmm… on reflection I guess it is 90% legit, but I swear there is a couple of rewind ones in there. :P mpc

    Okay, that's good enough for me - I formally withdraw my call of bulls**t. …and in light of that withdrawal: oh my word, that vid is insane!! :D

    i know there was some confusion before, but is this the one you are talking about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-p-pb3-BUE or do you mean the actual reverse power pass? cuz i can still make an explanation for both

    @Reason Thanks for the video. Can't really get my fingers to extend outwards smoothly at this point, but I shall keep on practising! I currently only know the normal power pass, what would you say in your opinion would be the best power pass to learn next??

    mirrored power pass for sure. i dont have an explanation video for that, but i have a link/combo video for it. im pretty sure there are several tuts/explanations on it already.

    try practicing ringaround reverse. that should help you train your pinkie.

    Thanks @Reason that's really helpful. :) This is such a cool trick - it almost looks like an optical illusion, like the pen spinners moonwalk. :D mpc

    Hey @Reason can you do an 8 finger powerpass that goes across both hands? So like: right hand PP normal > left hand mirrored PP? That would look awesome - is that a thing? :)

    With my left hand, I can just about do TA, TA rev and pick my nose. That is the full capability of my left hand. :( mpc

    ive been trying to do that one for a while, but my left hand wont cooperate.

    @Reason could you perhaps make a video similar to your mirror powerpass links/combo for the rev powerpass? It would be very helpful! Also i nearly have this trick but my index finger won't extend at the correct time, any ideas? thanks

    i dont have many useful links for powerpass rev yet though... ive only found like 2 that work well. i will make a video if i can come up with some more. try practicing the pass starting from your 23 instead. it should make it easier for your index.

    Mirrored powerpass -> square pass. Youre welcome :D

    @ShadowParadox square pass o.0 don't think my fingers will bend like that yet lol

    Hey @Reason I'm so close to getting reverse pp down, I just got one problem - I'm missing out one half revolution. it's going: 34 - half rev - 23 - 12 half rev - t1 Should I just keep practicing it as I am, or is something fundamentally wrong? Is this something you had while you were practicing? I feel like the more I practice it with a half rev missing, the more I'm training my brain to do it incorrectly. Does that make sense? mpc

  35. JAIvY
    Date: Sun, Aug 3 2014 11:01:44

    I had this exact problem while learning the normal power pass and this rev power pass, you are correct you need to sort it out otherwise you are training incorrectly, what I would suggest is what what Reason suggested to me, start from 23, basically the problem is that you're not waiting long enough before moving your index finger. Try waiting too long to get a sense for what happening and then home it in from the other side? If that makes any sense. This sorted it for me.
