Late Turns (2.5)

A turn pattern that overturns the standard single. The follower is led to wait, then spin two and a half rotations, ending a half-turn beyond where a normal inside or outside turn would stop. Both the late timing and the extra half are what make it read as advanced NY/line work.

The leader marks the turn slightly late and gives clean, early signals for the extra rotation, then catches the follower on the new facing. The follower commits to the full two-and-a-half, spotting hard and keeping a tight axis so she lands square.

Under-rotating and arriving off-axis, so the next move starts crooked. The half-turn is the whole point — finish the rotation fully and arrive balanced, or the flourish is lost.

Built from the basic inside and outside turns, it slots into any line turn run and lands back in open position ready for the next figure.
