# Blade twist

The hand which grips and twists the shaft/blade and the blade twist angle.

## Step 1. Determine the 'blade twist hand'

* If you grip and twist the blade in your **right** hand (it rotates/slips in your left hand) then set blade offset twist hand to **Right Hand Twist**.
* If you grip and twist the blade in your **left hand** (it rotates/slips in your right hand) then set blade offset twist hand to **Left Hand Twist**.

## Step 2. Determine the 'blade twist angle'
