This is difficult to explain in written words. Bear with me........

Bounce cuts = Bouncing the bottle downwards when you have poured the desired 
amount (the motion would be like banging your fist on a table), this stops the 
flow of liquid for a short second and allows you to move on to the next 
glass/tin with a lot more speed.

Aggressive cuts = All in the name. Snap the bottle as fast as possible to stop 
the liquid pouring.

Classic cut = The way that most tenders cut. Pull the bottle down as described 
above, thus slowing the speed of the liquid until none escapes.

Hope thats some of the info you needed. As for where to get information? I 
dunno, but I will do some research and see if I can find anything that will be 
of use to you.

Anyone else wanna add to this?

Cheers,

Adam
