I've always thrown a full up prep, half up extention, straight ride and non-kicking baskets by the ankles. It's alot easier to throw and more comfortable. This season is my first time ever throwing a 1 1/2 up prep from the flyers butt. I can see a probably holding the ankles if your doing a kicking basket because the flyer probably wouldn't know when exactly to kick.
I was referring to tosses only. Although I will be consistent in my statements that any flyer technique flaws should be corrected instead of having the back "band-aid" them by preventing them from occurring.
With that said: unless you are 12 1/2 feet tall, or have arms that drag behind you like the train on a wedding dress, there's no way possible that you should be able to do ANYTHING with a flyer's ankles to help her know when to kick in a toss.
