The simplest and least perturbing to your line, the buried arm in the face slows you while allowing you to adjust by either burying it deeper (you’ve heard that request before) or pulling it oot a bit. Suited to head high and a bit over-ish tubes. Don’t try it at macking Chopes or Shipsters – you’ll get your wing ripped out of its socket and possibly bopped on the head with the soggy end.

The arm drag is occasionally referred to by webcast commentators as “putting the pie in the oven”. Leave your pie in the oven for too long, and it will get burnt. Opinion is generally divided between those who prefer undercooked pies (blink-and-you’ll-miss-it head-dips) and those who would rather an overcooked one (deeper, longer, but ultimately unsuccessful tube-rides).
