Breakaway Roper's Swing
Breakaway Fundamentals

3m 46s
There are four blades to the swing, just as there are blades on a propeller. The blades are the tip, and the motor in the middle is your arm, doing the same motions quickly, but the blades take longer to come around. You have to have speed and strength in your arm and shoulder, just like a motor, to add the momentum to the blades.
