I still have a hard time with that one. I rarely ever do the flip turn but, like Jimbo, I want to learn it. I just need to practice it more... a LOT more!
I don't know how the guy at the pool told you, Jimbo, to do it but I was recently shown a fairly simple way in theory. Just approach the wall and do a somersault. Push off from the wall upside down and turn over as you move away from the wall, Make sense? It seems easier than trying to do the somersault AND turning over at the same time although I have to give it a lot of thought to pull it off.
