The purpose of this series is to work in game feeds on flips. Players must use good footwork, and utilize a variety of flips. Work through flips, and provide good feeds. Infielders work different situations, and constantly work on communication between the initiator of the flip, and the receiver. Intensity is key to a good flip.
