" 1 right tightens!" How??? 😂

[madcowie 12]

2 right tightens to 1???

To a 1R minus.

You know that sharp turn, acute, 90 and hairpin are all below a 1 ?

 

[SquadBruce 113]

Imagine calling a 1R into Acute Right as 1R tightens 😂

I dunno, but you save a lot more time saying  "R1 tightens"

[Buckwilder 499]

Tightens and open are just intracacies or variations in the call. 1R tightens is still a 1R, but the angle or apex of the turn is more or less extreme (tightens/opens), and so affects the speed and attack point of entry/exit.

Are all 3 rights the same? Are all 5 lefts the same? Think of the numbers covering a range of “tightness”. So it makes perfect sense of a 1 right to tighten further, just as a 5 right can tighten without getting as tight as a 4 right.

I have tried to show what i mean below. The top line is the notes you hear and how they may fit within the overall range covered by that number (shown in brackets).

Does this make sense to you?
