    I couldn't find a topic on this so I made one.

    I was wondering what would you call a "tap" if it went for 1.5 revolutions. It wouldn't be called full tap or half tap because it goes for more than 1 or half revolutions.

    If there isn't a name for these, I suggest calling both Full and half taps, just "tap" so if someone does a half tap, then it would be tap 0.5.

    I think you call it fulltap 1.5...

    And just tap 1.5 will not do it as name for that trick, since you got other "tap" tricks like palmtap and backtap...

    Fulltap Normal: when a Halftap Normal is performed with more than 0.5 rotation, the trick is renamed "Fulltap Normal". The trick is performed the same as Halftap Normal, with more rotation on the thumb and index finger before the catch.

    I think tap with more than 1.0 rotation would be Multiple Tap x.x, like Multiple TS x.x. FullTap means, that pen make 1 full rotation, HalfTap have 0.5 rotation. So, i think, full tap can have only 1 full rotation, no more.

    Multiple Thumbspin is an outdated name, so there's no reason to use "multiple" for describing Fulltap 1.5+. Use the rotation notation to describe the total amount of rotations.

    I mean, tap with 1.5+ rotation would be looks like "Tap 2.0" for example, but not like "FullTap 2.0". Full means 1 rotaion, not more.
