Half Spins are just that, half of a spin. That means that you will be catching the club on the WRONG end.
Instructions:
These are not as easy as they seem. You have to force your self to under-rotate your clubs as you throw them. It's not as hard as throwing Flats (no spin), but it's still pretty tough to get used to.
Just get used to throwing the club, without putting any extra spin on it. You may even have to purposely try not to spin the club.
When you get it, Half Spins are a pleasant change of pace from the full spin. When switching from single spins to halfs, the clubs seem to go in slow motion all of the sudden.
Another hidden advantage to mastering Half Spins, is improved recoveries from mis-caught clubs in other patterns. You'll soon learn how to throw a half-spin to correct your pattern after catching the wrong end and keep the pattern going.
