Whats the difference between flip and lutz?

  • okay so apart from axel the only single jumps i need to get is flip and lutz, I've started flip and I've kind of got it i just need to keep practicing, so i was watching ...show more

  • Answer:

    The flip and the lutz are very similar, you are right. Many people can't differeciate them either. The main difference is that when you pick for the flip, the other blade is on an inside edge, but when you pick for the lutz, it has to be on an outside edge. Usually (not always!), a flip is done with a 3-turn or a mohawk and the lutz starts from a very long glide back on the outside edge. Sometimes, even the greatest skaters in the world like Tara Lipinski, Sasha Cohen and Mao Asada (they are the 3 I remember the most) do a flutz, which means they pick on the wrong edge (inside) when they do a lutz.

They both take off of the left foot, backwards and are toe-jumps. This is probably what makes them look so similar. The biggest difference is that flips take off from an inside edge whilst the lutz takes off from an outside edge. You also tend to enter a flip from anti-clockwise cross-overs like other jumps, whereas the lutz generally takes off from clockwise cross-overs and is the only jump to normally do this.

Cait

Here is a good example of a proper flip: (Skip to 1:20 to see the actual jump) Here is a good example of a proper lutz: (Skip to 1:40 to see the actual jump) They are both back-entry jumps, and it is necessary in both jumps to pick your toe in straight, and not swing your arms around too much. But a flip begins with a three-turn, and you jump quickly into it, without holding the second part of your turn. A lutz begins after a large crescent of crosscuts, and you extend your leg back and hold that for a few moments before jumping. :)
