Reels ~ Shoulder Reel ~ Split Time Same Dir

Work a shoulder reel in split time with both fans moving same direction, focusing on keeping the timing relationship clean while the paths stay tight around the shoulder line. The aim is a smooth, repeatable reel that maintains clear planes and avoids drifting into uneven spacing.

Nikki Scarano emphasises a loose, responsive grip so you can access both sides of your weave more easily, letting the fans travel through the reel without sticking. Use this as a drilling pattern for control, hand comfort, and reliable transitions into and out of weave-based sequences.
