Introduction
Compared to ML (mouselook), butt grab will let you handle all ponyplays with more accuracy, this should help you to improve your performance in many disciplines.
You can easily use butt grab for all ponyplays activities except whip circle. It's not recommanded for whip circle because your AO always takes the shortest route and if you turn right 180° the AO may turn the avatar left 180° because it is shorter. Polo is where the butt grabb is the most efficient compared to ML, you can see and do a lot more.
Butt grab has no goal to replace ML outside ponyplay. Nothing better than ML to make your pet feeling more pony like *giggles*
Switching from ML to butt grab need time to get used to it, fast improvements are not to be expected
What's butt grab
Butt grab uses the normal view
When you go into ML, your avatar follows the mouvement of your mouse and keyboard keys direction
When you stay in the normal view, if you grab the butt of your avatar, your mouse will move your avatar in the same way than ML, and the keyboard keys direction works the same way too
Butt grab view allows you one more thing, the control of your cam position, you can dynamically change it. This is maybe the hardest point to get through, but you can block it
How it works?
Hidden objects view activated (Ctrl+Alt+T).
Keep the left mouse button pressed and move it…
Your avatar turns to the right or left
If you release the mouse button you will lose the butt grab control, this might be a problem if you need to keep the button pressed and move in an accurate way your mouse, but you can fix it…
Advice: press escape key before to grab the butt to reset the cam distance
How to stay in butt grab?
Butt grab in action
With ML, when you approaches a barrel, it’s hard to figure out how far away you are, are you too far and losing time, or too close and you will touch it ?
That’s what butt grab is helping you…
With Butt grab you can see how far away you are, but turning around the barrel with that view angle will be hard!
Our mouse is not enough sensitive to make a sharp turn, you have to raise you camera to have a better view…
Pull your mouse to raise the camera over your avatar, you will improve the view and increase the mouse sensitivity, perfect for a sharp turn.
Once you did the job, you can push your mouse to get a better overview on your trajectory.

Some tips
Block camera angle
If you use this combinaison of keys, you can froze the angle of your camera to the actual position, moving up and down your mouse will not have an effect.
- Press “Alt” key while you enable butt grab
- Once locked in butt grab release mouse button and “Alt” key
- Don’t move your mouse !!!
- Press shortly the left arrow key from your keyboard
- Our camera position is frozen!
Adjust the camera distance
Particularly helpful for polo where a high angle of view is useful to have a better overview on the ball, your teammate and the noughties opponents ponies.
- Press “Ctrl + 8” to move your camera away
- Press “Ctrl + 0” to move your camera closer
- Press “Ctrl + 9” to reset your camera position
To all polo players I recommend to move one step the camera away
Avoid butt grab for whip circle
The side effect of Butt grab is that your viewer will take the shortest way to turn your avatar
This may be confusing you when moving your mouse to the right and see your avatar turning to the left
And that will be taken as a mistake by the whip circle host
Hitbox
For SL, you look a tad different…
You can enable or disable the Hitbox from the menu...

The hitbox height depends of the avatar height
The hitbox width usually never change
Collision with gates, barrels or steeples are calculated from your hitbox, whatever you wear!
Using your hitbox is another way to improve your performance
