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.

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

This green with black caps 720 comes alive when you put some light behind it. It might be my favorite!

if i want to try out 2a should i just go for a pair of 720s? or is there another suggestion for intro 2a yoyos.

The 720s are great. Go for it.

Also I prefer a trio so I can make 3 different half swaps :joy:. YMMV
