This is a video of Kozu demonstrating the difference between a lutz and a flip. Unfortunately, it is in Japanese, but I think you can still get the gist:

Here is another explanation in English. It doesn't explain the difference in trajectory (lutz: convex, flip: concave) but if you watch it's clearly there:

Yes, but I still don't understand why Miki's and Yuna's lutzes would not be called true lutzes? They have clear outside edges on their take off and by the video you've just shown me, force is generated also with the toe pick. I don't see how Akiko or Mao's would be called better technically...
