Hmm, weird. Rob Reeves (the guy who made it up), named it “chops”.  
Not sure where the name hyper pendulum comes from. =)

I don’t see why augie didn’t get in the top 5 or even 3. I thought that was the best performance ever at word besides tyler’s and miggy’s.

I heard hyper pendulum was what some of the Japanese players called it.  
So I called it that in my video.

Chops, Hyper Pendulum, Hyper Choppy Pendulum.

Call it what you like!
