When your standing under a kit, yours or anyone elses what do you see? Are you seeing the entire kit performing as a team and judging them on how well they are scoring and working together? OR are you only seeing that one bird or two that are cranking out champion caliber breaks?

I'm hoping to see, and looking forward to seeing quality concert performance from good spinners.

I'm a newbie eh!So of course I'm seeing the best spinners and trying to pick out which bird it is.Eventually,I'd love to see that concert performance that Brian talks about with 15-20 birds,but so far,the birds aren't the only ones in training.I've got alot to learn about reading these birds.

It depends on what you want to look for. If Im feeling lazy I just look for the best individuals. If Im preparing a kit for comp then Im looking for the ones that are not rolling when the others do or those that show weakness or bad habits. If Im watching a kit in competition then I broaden my vision to maintain focus on entire kit while counting or estemating how many are rolling together. You sort of have to use periferal vision. If less than 10 roll together its not hard to count them. If much more then 10 I have to estimate. If Im looking for the ones to breed, I look for individual velocity and titeness in the roll plus kitting. Kevin

Nick, First I try to keep my mouth shut and hope nothing hits me in the eye. Seriously though, I try to take in the whole performance ie. concert performance, depth and velocity. I always end up focusing more on depth and velocity though.

Hey Nick, I seem to always see the screw-up first. My good friend Sal said I cull too hard, but then told me, I must be doing something right because my birds do really well in the air.
When I see that screw-up bird, I obsess on it until it gets right or I decide to cull it. Once things are back on track, I can see the good ones again.
