Often, these sort of spins are confused with Peggy Spins, or over-hand spins, but they are a much simpler alternative to those complicated spins. They still add a really great level of speed change to your program so use them where you can!
Begin in right shoulder once again. The first count is the same as if you were doing a drop spin, the right hand brings the flag upside down into your left hand, which grabs the silk with the thumb down. However, on the second count, the left hand brings the flag through straight up and down and stops when the pole is flat, silk to the left. The right hand grabs here with the palm up, mirroring the position of the left hand. Left hand releases the flag, right hand continues the motion until the flag is straight up and down with the silk up and the thumb down. Left hand then grabs on the pole below the right hand with the thumb down as well. Next, the right hand once again releases and the left hand brings the flag flat with the palm of the hand facing up. Repeat the same motion as before by grabbing the pole with your right hand palm up and continue the spin, grabbing with the left hand thumbs down every time the flag come straight up and down, and grabbing with the right hand palms up every time the flag comes flat.
This spin can be stopped in the flat position by grabbing with your right hand on the flat and sliding it toward the bottom tip, or it can be pulled into a drop spin stop after the left hand grabs thumb down.
