    i got the regular back tap down (although i can't use it in combos just yet), but i can't seem to get the reverse backtap to work
    in which direction do i move my hand in
    eso said in his tutorial that in a regular tap, for righties, you move it sorta like a curve to the down left (southwest, bottom left, whichever works)
    so what's the direction for the reverse tap?
    is it to the upper right in a curve like motion?

    when i jerk my hand straight to the right, i can get it sometimes, but what's the correct direction for moving your hand

    Baktap Reverse rotates to the right when looking down at the hand in the palm-down position (right-handed).

    Baktap 12-12 uses a quick rotation of the hand clockwise, with the index finger pushing the pen.

    so backtap seems to work the way that eso described it, but the backtap reverse needs a more horizontal motion rather than a curved motion
    okay, so i guess i'll just do a horizontal motion to the right then

    is the curved motion in teh regular backtap just there to keep the pen from falling off the hand? o.0...?

    oh, and i didn't know that admins/mods can change the title ohmy.gif

    Both Baktap Normal and Reverse have a horizontal motion to them, the hand is palm-down when performing them.
