I have always struggled with free hips. I have one in my routine on the high bar, which I swing right into from a front uprise. The problem I usually have is that I can't seem to master the proper wrist action involved in the skill. I usually end up with my forearm getting stuck on the bar as I complete the skill. On Tuesday, I really tried to flick my wrists around the bar, but ended up peeling off and had a nasty, scary fall. Of course, I keep playing it over and over in my head. Luckily, landed in a good position (although somehow on the other side of the uneven bars) and just have some really nasty bruises on my upper thighs. I just don't even know how to approach the skill again. My coaches just tell me to "switch" my wrists while maintaing pressure on the bar and I can't seem to do this. Any thoughts?
