2A if you are a Yomega collector you are in luck, Hans Yim is selling his collection for $200,000 USD. Little out of my league, my 2 year old Glow 720s still pass muster especially laced with Loop Lite Goldenrod.

Compared to Kitty Regular, they are a little slimmer but thicker than Kitty Slims. In play they have a little more rebound at the end of the string compared to Regulars and Slims. These were made by Kitty for looping and I’m finally getting consistent enough to reap the benefits of the added rebound and can feel this nuance. I haven’t committed to a full 100 pack yet, but so far I’m liking Goldenrod and I think the price has come down a bit since when they were originally released. > **[Yo-Yo String](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/yo-yo-string?_pos=1&_sid=9b4b52160&_ss=r&variant=32425992880202)** ---

Since I’ve mastered 2 handed loops :wink:😅😅😅😅😅 i figured i would try hop the fence in my left to start working towards 2 handed hops… wow! my left is totally disconnected from my brain at times. 2A should be considered neurologic training for your brain. Nutty. ---

Somedays I just disconnect and do Hops with the left and loops in the right in a non syncopated rhythm, it can be a bit of a mess, but I just try to hold on for the ride. ---

No where near hoping and looping with both hands simultaneously… but I’m throwing hops around the worlds and alternating loops back to back consistently in the left. Hardest transfer seems to be going from loops to hops. ---

Found these 2 on a FB thread. Thought it might be helpful to post here. A complete guide to looping by YYE and another by Bandalores. Probably more basic then everyone on this thread but i thought it was insightful. > [@Beginning 2a: A Technical Guide](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/beginning-2a-a-technical-guide/77618): > > I’ve seen many questions about 2a coming up and some people asked me personally about it, besides there is pretty much almost no information about it. So instead of retyping the same thing over and over again, I decided to make a guide. This will cover more of the technical detail from the setup to the actual detail about what kind of “physics” are going on in a loop.

Nice 2A resource links ⬆ Been 2A lazy and pushing my string life again. 2A play is definitely harder on strings than 1A play is.
