Created by Peggy Twigg, along with a multitude of other moves she created in the 1970's as a member of the 27th Lancers Drum and Bugle Corps flag line, this is her namesake move and arguably the most complicated spin currently taught on flag.
A peggy spin does not seem much different from a speed spin at first, but it creates a dramatically different effect when coordinated and spun properly. It generates two different sized spins, and the larger of the two spins is actually faster so that it completes its revolution in the same amount of counts as the smaller spin.
Begin as you would a speed spin, but instead of grabbing the silk side of the flag below your right hand, grab the pole side of the flag ABOVE your right hand. Bring the flag through the up and down position to flat again and grab palms up with your right hand just as before, but each time the left hand grabs onto the flag make sure to grab ABOVE your right hand. Your hands should move up and down the pole somewhat and this is what creates the big circle/little circle effect. Between the time where the right hand grabs palms up and the left hand grabs thumbs down above the right is where the flag speeds up.
Stopping is the same as for a speed spin.
