Well done!! I can milk the cow but I’m struggling with alternating loops. ---

I always cross the streams when I milk the cow. I think I need to maybe turn my hands over more to throw straight down. ---

Agreed. I can’t keep them straight but I’m keeping them pretty close together. Lots of work ahead. ---

Hello guys! Happy 2A Tuesday! I’m “newbie” to looping, but have a descent exp in other styles 1a-5a. My setup is: - 2x loop 720 by yyf - with blue “sunrise” shims - thick Kitty XL’s both 70cm right before the slipknot As some players mentioned earlier - I’m trying to get my best with each hand separately, before merging them together. Inside loops are pretty good - hitting about 20-30 in a line, but loosing “loop power” sometimes. A bit more powerful with my outside loops - hitting about 20 for each hand before string twists too much. Also I can make inside/outside loops for 20 times I guess And “punching bags” - hitting about 10 each hand before they tend to lose right tension. Gonna make some posts during my 2A process. ![IMG_8398](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/6/6/666a7117ca816219fd2580ec606d8b247b016fc4.jpeg) ![IMG_8399](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/7/4/f742b5c602757da007ef1ecddd4a91e95f3a40d1.jpeg) ---

> [@Comm44m](#): > > “punching bags” Punching Bags are hard and require just strength. Hank Freeman is a Yo-Yo GOAT and “Fountain” has to probably be one of the hardest tricks to master. Shu also does “Fountain” in his latest AGT routine https://www.youtube.com/embed/BNaSIue2StU?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PLiE2ciAdSG-lwzh7ivLDKdgSiuzVJYQvB&start=126 [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLxQVQwAw8U) ---
