Note — this vault is easiest for gymnasts who do all salto twists in the direction of the hand placed 1st on the floor on Round-off.
For example, if the gymnast twists saltos to the right, easiest is that they also put the right hand down first on Cartwheel and Round-off. A left twist.
Kasamatsu is 1/4 twist in one direction, 3/4 twist in the opposite direction. More difficult is Tsukahara with 1/1 twist which is 1/2 twist in one direction, 1/1 twist in the same direction.
Head coaches should be checking on twist direction when it’s being taught to beginners at their Club.
