Which do you like better? I like to grab leading tail, but I've noticed every cork 7 in every edit has a reverse tail grab.

Cuban is the same as a stalefish except you grab the tip.

Opp blunt is trailing blunt, so if you're spinning left and grab left hand blunt, that is opp blunt. Cuban is basically a stale except extended to the end of the ski's tail.
Im confused with all these trailing and leading terms.
Spin left, right hand, right tail, thats a tail grab/blunt
Spin left, left hand, left tail, thats a reverse tail/blunt,
this works just like with mute, why make it any harder?
Spin left, right hand, left tail, thats a cuban/stalefish, and vice versa.

Mute grabs are called regular or reverse/opposite because they are different than tails grabs in that the left hand grabs the right ski or vice versa. With tail grabs you grab the ski closest to your hand so calling them leading or trailing makes more sense. It doens't really matter though as long as we understand what the other person means.
I always did leading grabs and for one season I started to do mostly trailing grabs and now I am doing leading grabs again. They feel different.

spinning left, grabbing with your right hand... all of these would be called trailing, reg or following. (all interchangeable terms)
all of these are behind the binding.
right ski...
outside edge = tindy
on the tail of the right ski = blunt
inside edge = toxic.
left ski...
inside edge = japan
on the tail of the left ski = cuban
outside edge = stale
if you're still spinning left, grabbing with your left hand, these grabs are then called leading, reverse or opp. (which ski your grabbing obviously switches)
with that said, imo, grab trailing or whiff
all of these are behind the binding.

tail is grabbing the back of your ski, towards your tail section (crossed or uncrossed)
blunt is grabbing the very tip of your tail (crossed or uncrossed)
toxic is just like tail but grabbing the inside edge instead of outside edge
Stalefish is grabbing blunt but with the opposite arm (so left arm with right tip or contrary) most of the time done uncrossed with a shifty.
My friends and I refer to blunt as any uncrossed tail (toxic blunt or normal) cos the two skis actually look like a blunt
and refer as grabbing the tip of the tail as true tail, just like true nose is grabbing the very tip of the nose.@op grabbing leading is much easier but a cork 5 trailing blunt (uncrossed) is just as steezy as it gets

this is all exactly right. especially leading = reverse= opp, which plenty of people got wrong in this thread
