Hey i was wondering what is the difference between a tailgrab, a blunt and a true tail. It seems everyone calls them different and I dont know if there are really 3 different grabs or just 3 names for the same trick

thanks in advance guys

blunt is inside edge of ski being grabbed

tail is outside edge of ski being grabbed

true tail is very tip of ski being grabbed

thats not correct.
blunt and true tail are the same thing , it's the tip of the ski
tindy is outside edge of ski
inside edge of ski is a tail grab/ toxic

but these days since all people grab is blunt mostly, any of the names blunt/true tail/ tail grab make sense.
