Hello!
Does anybody have any suggestions for 1a tricks I can learn/work on to improve my 4a game? I prefer offstring, but don’t have nearly as many opportunities to throw 4a as I do 1a. How can I sharpen the skills I need for 4a through 1a play?
Thank you!

Iron whip in 1A is pretty much the same fundamental thing as over whips in 4A. You can do recaptures in 1A, although 1A recaptures actually feel a little harder and more awkward. You just don’t have to go pick up your yoyo if you miss them lol.
Honestly though just throwing the yoyo and getting comfortable with regens is probably the most important fundamental 4A skill. You can’t really practice these things without just playing 4A. Over whips and recaptures in 4A also just inherently feel very different and take practice on their own while playing 4A so you can do them under your legs/behind your back/etc.
You just kinda gotta play more 4A, although if you can’t land an over whip in any capacity, just practicing iron whip in 1A will absolutely help.
