About
In 2025, the whip full became a swan. Prior to that, it lived in skill purgatory as one of the rarer back tumbling elements on floor. But in 2025, the floor exercise combination rules were amended to award 0.2 for indirect combinations of C + D, and everyone realized that the whip full is a C element designed exactly for gaining momentum in the midst a tumbling pass.

With the 0.2 bonus, a whip full indirectly into the double tuck (D) you were already planning to count essentially turns that D into an F, just like doing a standalone F element like a back 3.5 or double Arabian piked. And who could resist that?
