Confused about string twists and serving direction.
After reading several forum posts and watching some YouTube videos I'm left a little confused particularly about serving direction.
But first I'd like to be clear about direction of string twists. I'm a right-handed archer and have always twisted clockwise . . . and just to make this clear - - - if the 'far end' of the string is held static I twist the 'near end' in a clockwise direction from my viewpoint of looking along the string towards the 'far end'. Should I be doing it in this direction?
Now, a bit more confusion --- I read and hear it said that serving should be done in the same direction at all places on the string, BUT watching just one of the videos the top nock serving was done by going below the string away and back over the top of the string toward the server ( and serving from the loop in towards the centre of the string -- working from his left to his right). He then transferred to the bottom loop, stood in the same orientation to the string and proceeded to serve in exactly the same way as he had done the top loop serving. I've re-played this several times in my head, visualising the string as if it were going away from me with the bottom loop nearest my eye - - - the bottom loop serving is going in a clockwise direction in relation to my eye, while at the other end of the string the top loop serving is going in an anti-clockwise direction in relation to my eye. Of course, if I visualise the string from the top loop it is doing exactly the same thing (in an opposite kind of way?) --- the top loop serving clockwise, the bottom anti-clockwise.
So, I'm asking if that is the correct way to serve (as I've described above) ???
. . . and, given that I twist clockwise should I be serving under the string and away and back over the top toward me while working from my left to my right - - - OR should I be doing it the other way ???
Thanks in advance for all your great answers!
