@Rick McCharles recently posted this on gymnasticscoaching.com, as well as a similar video for doublefulls.
I've generally favored introducing back twisting starting with a very late twist, and allowing the twist to gradually initiate earlier and earlier, mainly to avoid the problem of early twisting compromising set technique. From what I've seen, this seems to be the preferred method among most coaches.
However, it's hard to argue with results like what you see in this video as well as the doublefull video; the technique looks very pretty, and very well-controlled.
Thoughts?
