If your bottle is leaning more towards ½ or ¼ full, the bottle will not slow down properly and will be difficult to land upright. The perfect amount of water is when the bottle is right around ⅓ full.

If the bottle is completely full or completely empty, it will be almost impossible to flip. This can be done by pouring out the excess water, but we recommend that you drink the water, so as not to get dehydrated in the middle of a long day of bottle flipping. This step is crucial because the amount of water in the bottle is what controls its rotation in the air, making it either really easy or really hard to land. The next step in the preparation for your bottle flip is adding the right amount of water. Once you have found a water bottle that you think will give you the best shot at landing the bottle flip, you can move on to the next step. Allowing the water to slow down the rotation of the bottle is what helps the bottle to land upright. Having a lightweight bottle with thin walls is preferred because its rotation will be more affected by the water inside. Thicker plastic water bottles make the bottle flip more difficult because it adds weight and will lessen the assistance of the water. Another important factor is the construction of the water bottle. Some water bottle brands, like Dasani, design their water bottles to have small feet at the bottom, but this just makes it harder to land the water bottle upright because the feet will cause the bottle to bounce in unexpected directions.
The bases of these cheap, generic brand, water bottles are perfect for nailing the water bottle flip because they have a large, flat, circular base. The shape of the water bottle is very important because it will inevitably decide how easy it will be for it to land in the upright position. Of the bottles tested, we found that the generic Iowa State Cyclone water bottles worked the best because of their construction. Water bottles come in many different shapes and sizes and each brand is different from the next. The first thing to consider when doing a bottle flip is which water bottle you are going to use.
