I'm a base who has found himself in a position lately where I'm often working with pretty new flyers and I'm still somewhat of a beginner myself (2 years in) so I often struggle to help flyers do what they're supposed to do for the technique.

One very clear example is the hand switch in four step. It's not a natural motion with the hands for most people and when I tell them to rotate their hands they almost always start turning their wrists. I have trouble explaining what to actually do here.

What good explanations/cues have you used for beginners for the basic techniques and flows that have been helpful, or what cues were you given as a new flyer that were particularly helpful?
