After modifying my raiders, I don’t particularly care for them 😩 I want to because of the size and weight. But alas…. I did get some Spectrum Ex though. Let’s see how those are ---

\*\*Requesting Help \*\* Ok speaking of 720’s…. I have these set up to the Shu video. One red, one blue spacer. 4 drops of Earl, and 85cm string. This seemingly loops more up and hops / punching bags more down than I prefer. Can I technique this out or…. Is it a me problem? I could add 5cm of stringaling but then everything is slow (er). … ---

If you like your strings longer, play them longer. ---

So you can correct with technique. 2A is finding a technique plus equipment combo that works for you. It’s hard to know what’s “better” and what’s just “not what I’m used to.” Let me find the chart up thread but you can also I think try a thinner string to bring the loops down. ---

The unfortunate part is that I don’t personally know anyone that throws 2a, and I’d be willing to drive. I haven’t met another yo-yo player in Vegas in probably 20 years. It would be cool to use someone else’s set up as comparison ---

> [@DaneMartin](#): > > “my set up sucks” How old are these 720? or How Many Loops are on them? The Startburst does wear out unfortunately, that’s why new ones always play so crispy. When it comes to practice, a pair is going to see thousands of reps. ---
