"Hi, my name is Elliot and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to teach you how to shoot spit wads. So, we're shooting the spied wad, right? But, how do we hold the straw? So, is it ok to hold one hand at the front and one hand at the end? Well, I recommend that you don't do so and here's why. When I'm holding it like this, my eyes can't see the end of the straw. I'm only seeing the end of my hand. And if I can't see the end of the straw, I don't get a very good idea of where the spit ball will be heading. So, this is what I recommend. Hold the front of the straw primarily with your hand that you're most comfortable with. Since I'm right-handed I will hold the straw with my right hand. Then I will use my left hand to support my right hand while I'm shooting. That way I can see with my eyes, the end of the straw and I can keep it more steady. So when I shoot, I can see that the spit ball will go in that direction which the straw is pointing"
