Reels ~ Shoulder Reel ~ Same Time Same Dir

Practise a shoulder-level reel with fans in same time, same direction timing. Starting with the fans positioned behind you, Nikki Scarano demonstrates a thumb grip entry, dropping one fan onto the thumb while the other uses the fingertips for control, noting the non-dominant side may feel trickier to manipulate.

Refine the reel by adding subtle right–left body movement to stabilise the plane and keep pathways clean as the fans travel around the shoulders. Expect extra wrist load compared with hip reels, so warm up before drilling and then use this pattern as a base for other timing and direction combinations.
