Question

Is it okay to bottle flip using a glass bottle?

Community Answer

It is not advised. To be on the safe side, use a plastic bottle. A glass bottle could break and cut somebody, and even send someone to the emergency room. Using a plastic bottle will prevent you and anyone around you from any possible injury.

When I bottle flip, a side of the bottle pushes in. How do I prevent this?

You probably want to check how much water you put in the bottle and where you're putting your hands.

Question

What hand is best for bottle flipping? And what is the best speed to flip it at?

Rajat Gajinkar

Community Answer

It's probably best to use the hand that you write with, but it's up to you. There is no perfect speed, it is all about how you flick your wrist.

Place your fingers at the start of the curve on the bottle, right below the cap. Using three fingers is the best way to hold it, and flicking your wrist is key to a successful bottle flip.
