Notes
The Natural Twist Turn is one of three figures in syllabus Foxtrot 
(the others being the Reverse Wave and the Natural Turn) that produces 
a Heel Pull, and can thus be used as an entry for a Hover Feather. From 
this Heel Pull, the Natural Twist Turn has a variety of endings:

A. 1-5 Natural Twist Turn ending with a Hover Feather (SQ&QSQQ) 

B. 1-5 Natural Twist Turn ending in 2-11 Natural Weave 
     (SQ&QS QQQQQQ)

C. 1-5 Natural Twist Turn, step 3 of Closed Impetus, and Feather Finish
     (SQ&QQQ SQQ)

D. 1-5 Natural Twist Turn, step 3 of Open Impetus (SQ&QQQ)

In addition to these named variations, 1-5 Natural Twist Turn and 
1-6 Natural Twist Turn offer useful bases for compound figures, for 
example the following non-syllabus combination:

1-6 Natural Twist Turn (SQ&QQQ) into Reverse Pivot (S)
