Happy Tuesday! Loops 720s today. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/9/8/0987fb918318f24ced500b8ff4578b0dfd163020.jpeg) I have a few equipment questions: 1. Any tips for tying the strings the same length? I feel like I measure the length together, then have to tie individually, and am incapable of getting the same length. 2. How long do you tie the strings? I shoot for belt height but I’m thinking I should go shorter (I am a bit tall). 3. One of my Loop 720s responds just a little slower than the other. They have the same color spacers and same string. Any tips for fine tuning? I’m planning to clean the bearings and see if it helps. ---

I was practicing some 2a on the subway… planet hops ( no loops so i don’t scare anyone)… and a guy just comes up to me as he exists and says " wow you just took me back to my childhood, I was Harlem champ in 1963!, Thank you…" and he got off the subway before i could have a chat with him. I always like throwing in public because most the time you meet people in a positive way. ---
