Apache whip

Not to be confused with the [behind-the-back whip].

Start in an [open] position. Same on 1 and 2, but on 3 and 4 you put the follower’s right hand behind her lower back and grab her right hand with your right hand into a [weird handshake]. Watch video.

Paraphrased advice from Damon D’Amico:

When performing an Apache whip, in addition to always keeping the right hand on the follower’s shoulder, the hand switch happens on 5, not 4. If you attempt the hand switch on 4, you are undermining the follower. On 5, do not take your right hand off the follower’s back to perform the hand switch because this is confusing for the follower. On 5, for the hand switch, while the right hand is pressed against the follower’s left shoulder blade and the right wrist is under the armpit with no gap, all you have to do is change the direction of your right hand from 9 o’clock to 6 o’clock while lifting your right-hand fingers, assuming the imaginary clock is mounted on the follower’s back. Then bring the follower’s right hand under those fingers using your left hand.
