bucketception

ive got the trick down pretty good, but its still that first initial flip into the bucket and the rest of the trick comes out fine, i just feel odd on that one moment, been practicing for a while on this one, and i still cant work that tin man feeling on that part, any tips? just to help smoothin it out

okay lemme elaborate a little more, at the moment when u open it (i call it a open face bucket)that first swing, i can hit it, but like i said it feels choppyish…tipz?
