Thanks for another great video! You always do a great job of explaining things and making it easier to understand. The slow motion video is a big help as well! I can't wait to try it!
This was so well done Mike. Once again, you're proving to be far more than just a reviewer of bags- I absolutely love this tutorial. I really struggle getting the right to left over rotation release (as a right hander), I'll definitely try the thumb/forefinger across the body release. Alec Ryan is one of the best I've seen at cutting bags. Thanks Mike, looking forward to more tutorials!
That's the shot I struggle with the most. I have no issues front loading the bag for a flop but whenever I try to back load, it wants to come out flat. I can do but not consistently.
Great video, Mike. I've been trying to learn this throw, but as soon as I put an angle on the bag, I can barely hit the board. I guess practice practice practice
It takes a lot of practice to get it right. Once you get consistent at putting it on the board, you'll struggle with getting it to land where you want. It's a tough shot to master.
I have a natural left to right cut and always play from the right side. I also have a solid straight slide. I can block slide straight on my side or go around decent block and use my opponents lane. Need to work on my right to left cut though. Getting 1 cut shot locked in is very important as you can collect your blocks easier when you set on opponents side.
I am not a great roll bag thrower. I struggle with the back load needed to get a consistent roll. I am not a good one to teach someone how to throw it. To be honest, it is very rare that I feel like the roll is the best option. I find that most situations, a cut or an airmail is a better option than the roll.
Mike I need to pick your brain again when you have time. I love Fire bags, but in a tournament last night I used some Big Daddy Rivals, and I really liked them. Smaller template than the Incinerator I usually go with in which I actually didn’t mind. If you’re familiar with the Rivals, what Fire/BG/BlackSheep/AlphaBags - bags could you compare to them?
Of the bag companies that you listed, the closest bag would be the BG Viking. It's almost the same materials but it does use a different fill that is more bouncy than the Rival. The original Black Sheep OG would be very close but that bag is no longer being made. When they switched to the OG2, they changed the carpet material. However, the OG2 has the same feel and fill as the Rival. It will play more like the Rival than the Viking will. The Fire Ember and the Alpha Bags King Alpha are close but they use a different carpet material, like the OG2. To answer your question, none of those companies makes a bag just like the Rival. The Buffalo Boards Conflict X is a bag that would be close to the Rival. However, if you like the Rival, just buy a set of them. Big Daddy is still making that bag. Now, if you want a smaller template bag that is closer to the Incinerator speeds, then get a set of Fire Heat. I hope that answers your question. 😀
I have not yet. I don't feel like I can do it well enough to teach it yet. I'm looking into getting someone else to teach it but I haven't got the details worked out.
I appreciate the feedback. This was published over a year ago. My channel was still new at that point. A good outdoor mic is an expensive investment. I apologize for the audio not being better. I encourage you to check out some of my newer videos. I have upgraded my mic and I feel that the audio quality has improved drastically.
Great video and explanations! Do some players always throw with the same technique you did here on your right to let cut no matter what shot they are throwing?
@@MikesBags thanks for the info. Not a lot of how to throw a bag show that style of throwing. It's usually the way you throw your regular slide shot. I'm going to have to find some other videos on here showing that new (new for me) form.
This is exceptional. Thank you for the slow mo and step by step instructions
Thanks for another great video! You always do a great job of explaining things and making it easier to understand. The slow motion video is a big help as well! I can't wait to try it!
Your instructional videos are the best. Slow & methodical makes it easy to follow.
Thanks! It's tough to show something that happens that fast. I tried my best to slow it down. I'm glad you like them.
Great tutorial. Seeing the hand in slow motion is awesome very helpful thank you.
Great break down. First I’ve seen to really break down in slow mo the grips and angles of release and end results. Thanks Mike
That's what I was trying to do. It's hard to slow down the throw and release because it happens so fast.
I love all your videos and bag reviews. Like how you go into details. Please keep them coming 🙏
Thanks!
Terrific video. I really enjoyed watching. Very clear and easy to understand. This is defenitly going to help my game.
What a great demonstration. Thank you. Love your content
This is a great vid. Thanks for the info. I'd like to see one on back loading techniques for roll shots.
That one is in the works. The back loaded bag is not an easy one for me. So I'm still working on getting consistent with it myself.
Thanks for doing these videos make. So I’m depth and helpful.
Awesome breakdown of the cut shot! I been waiting to watch a breakdown of a cut shut. Now I need good weather to go practice
You definitely need a calm day to practice. The wind will push that tilted bag like a sail.
Thanks Mike excellent teaching video thanks for breaking it down now it’s time to work on the shot
Best advice I can give you is to be patient with it. It will be frustrating at first.
THESE TIPS ARE GREAT ❤
I'm glad I found your channel
I'm glad you found it, too!
Awesome Video. Thanks.
Keep the videos coming!!
Thanks for this! It’s just what I was looking for to step up my game against those blockers 👍🏼
You're welcome!
Awesome job Mike... so helpful...
Thanks!
Great video Mike!

Alec does a great job of cutting bags. Jimmy Youmans and Noah Almanza are also great at cut shots.
Thank you for the tips ! Great video !
Very good video!!
Thanks Mike grate lesson
Excellent video! Thank you. Looking forward to the back loaded roll shot 😊
That's the shot I struggle with the most. I have no issues front loading the bag for a flop but whenever I try to back load, it wants to come out flat. I can do but not consistently.
@@MikesBags yeah for me I CAN get it back loaded but my aim is horrible or when I DO hit my spot it’s like you said: it comes out flat
It takes a lot of practice to get it right. I've adapted to more of a cut roll. I feel it's a little more forgiving and it's an easier throw for me.
Great video, Mike. I've been trying to learn this throw, but as soon as I put an angle on the bag, I can barely hit the board. I guess practice practice practice

Will you do a tutorial on roll bags?

To be honest, it is very rare that I feel like the roll is the best option. I find that most situations, a cut or an airmail is a better option than the roll.
Excellent informative videos bro! How about a roll shot tutorial video? 😊
I throw cut shots 100% of the time (because I can't throw a flat bag, haha)

I hope that answers your question. 😀
Very much helpful, thank you Mike! I knew I was asking the right guy
👊
is there a reason your follow through goes accross your body? at 16:30
That's my natural follow though on that type of throw. It doesn't affect the throw. You can finish whatever way feels best for you.
Did you ever upload a flop shot/roll bag video?
I have not yet. I don't feel like I can do it well enough to teach it yet. I'm looking into getting someone else to teach it but I haven't got the details worked out.
@@MikesBags yeah.. I can't do it well enough either. I was hoping YOU could 😁
🤣
Love your videos but the Audio is all over the place.. up an down.. a lot of wind 💨 noise brother 👍

great tutorial. love the closeup of the grips and then the full frame of the landings.
Thanks. I tried my best to show every part of the throw. It's tough to break down an action that happens that quickly.
Great video and explanations! Do some players always throw with the same technique you did here on your right to let cut no matter what shot they are throwing?
Yes, a lot players throw that way.

@@bovina40 It's a harder way to learn to throw, especially if you don't start out that way.
Excellent Stuff here
Thanks!
