Same technique here. It's still a butterfly coil just done differently. I've tried it a few times but found it's easier for me to grab the center of the rope and do a regular butterfly rather than flaking it and grabbing one end. To each his own... |

That's always been my standard coiling method... |
|
I only use the ShamWoW method |
|
In Kansas City the climbing club hosts a rope coiling contest and the wild math that is not used it's similar but you use both hands alternating back-and-forth over your neck and at the end you're left with the same results without all the confusion of left and right and flipping the switch that over your hand and neck. |

Never heard of that method, I coil my rope using the magicless wowless way: |
|
Starting at the half way point is a recipe for disaster. The left hand, flip over head, to right hand, flip over head to repeat to tail, standard method, creates a simple figure 8 over the neck, which eliminates twisting of the rope, which eliminates bunching at the belay device as you feed rope. Now that thur is a run on sentence. |

Watch the above video, but start with a single end hanging to your feet. Wrap over your head in the same motion from each side as she does until you come to near the end, then finish in the twister nose or backpack as needed. |

I've always started at the half way point when doing a pack coil, never had any issues with tangled rope. So with the magic WoW you are basically doing a pack coil but can't use it as a pack because you only have one strand at the finish. Not seeing any benefit to the Sham Wow. |

I always use the magic method but start with enough hanging to make a backpackers coil. Its also easy to do starting from the middle. I dont think about it as right left. I place my left palm flat. When i go down from my neck i cross to the other side of my hand. Coming back up i go on the same side. Once a rhythm is established you dont have to think about it and can carry on a conversation. |

This "wow" method is the standard way for many of us. |
