Flair Bartending Lesson #56: Combo #4

It’s time for another combo move – putting together a couple of our previous moves into a longer, nicer, prettier, more fluid, lovable routine. This particular combo is simply adding The Exchange onto the end of The Swooping J. Obviously, you need to make sure you are good and comfortable with those moves first. After that, combining these two shouldn’t be particularly difficult – they kind of blend magically right into each other.

The only slightly tricky part of the transition may be adjusting to the different grip you’ll have on the bottle at the end of the Swooping J that you’ll have to pull into a flat behind the back for the Exchange. You’re probably used to doing that Flat Behind the Back with your thumb and elbow pointing up; for this combo you’ll have to get used to an inverse grip which has your thumb/elbow pointing down. Minor adjustment, same movement. A little practice and you’ll have it down just fine.
