Demonstration of a Mattock.

Start from a controlled toe stall.
Set the bag slightly upward and toward your centerline.
Hop off the dexing leg as the bag rises.
Swing the leg over the bag from outside to inside.
Continue turning your hips into clipper position.
Instead of catching on a clipper stall, position your toe behind the support leg in a cross-body rake position.
Catch the bag on the toe and sweep it from behind the support leg back to the front of your body.
Finish on a controlled toe stall to complete the final dexterity.

A solid Symposium Butterfly makes learning Mattock dramatically easier.

Practice rakes independently until the sweeping motion feels natural.

Tight sets and efficient dexterities make the final rake much easier to complete.
