Flag Pole

How do i keep my color guard flag from getting tangled around the pole?

This is my first year doing color guard. When i do singles and/or doubles, generally just twisting the pole, the flag gets twisted and/or tangled around the pole. They told me not to roll my wrists but i don’t even know what they mean. Truly i don’t think they even know what they mean. Any suggestions?

I know exactly how you feel. I did this when I 1st started and im pretty sure everyone does this when they are new. What you need to do is lock your wrists. They are in fact rolling, and that what is causing the problem. However telling you not roll wrists or to lock them wont help you all that much. People told me to just stop rolling my wrist and i had no idea how to cause i didnt really kno what i was doing wrong. You just keep doing your singles (dropspins) or your doubles (double time) and you just learn how to lock them. Just make an effort to try to lock them even if you aren’t sure how to, just try. Trust me if you keep doing them the muscles in your wrists will remeber what to do. Like muscle memory this isnt something thats easy to give instructions for, you kinda hav to figure it out ya kno? just practice and you will get it, it wont take long
good luck and have fun~~!
