Whip with Outside Turn

intermediate

also known as: Outside Turn Whip

The mirror of the whip with inside turn: the follower takes an outside (clockwise) turn on counts 5–6 while returning down the slot.

Commonly used to set up spins, hand changes, or free-spin exits. The classic error is starting the turn on 4 instead of after the post — the redirection has to finish before the rotation begins.
