Women Round Off, Should I flick the wrist?

[melissaallen59425]

During the gymnastics round off, should a person "flick the wrist" like they are kind of doing a basketball shot? This is also done with the "shoulder shrug pop" to get a lift from the ground. One of my coaches told me to flick wrist, just curious if this is standard practice? Everyone has different teaching styles.

You should push off the ground with your hands and fingers... yes.

I think pushing through your shoulders is most important but pushing through your hands may help too.

I feel like if a coach mentioned it, it's probably helpful. Coaches (most of the time) are right (unless they push you too far.)
