Itā€™s Tuesday again, and Iā€™m still playing the Loopsā€¦

Iā€™ve been working a teeny bit on Around the Worlds to work up to Tangler or just some interesting around the world switches that I donā€™t know the name of.

Here is like a minute of me trying to loop w my good hand. Finally starting to feel like Iā€™m getting it like outside wrist and the ones that go down feel like I can do them forever but I wanna keep my string from getting too twisted so I try to mix them up. some of the transitions are rough but I feel like my recovery is getting a lot better like I can usually correct when it start to go off too bad and I try to only practice good loops. Other hand is okay and I think Iā€™m ready to start doing two at onceā€¦ just waiting for gear bc I still have no pairs . 2a is also hard to film like I think I was at a weird angle but imma get it better next time.

What is the theory behind when I should switch up my gear to add more width? I still have the stock double reds which sleeps but not for that long at all. Is there any reason why I should switch it up before I start learning tricks that need longer sleep times? Not ready for that at all but Iā€™m curious. Also let me
Know if Iā€™m thinking about this wrong and spacers donā€™t have much to do with sleep time but I know my setup doesnā€™t sleep for very long right now. I also want to say Iā€™m feeling really stoked on 2a! I keep picking up the 720 more and more and Iā€™m so ready for the two I ordered through that charity thing to get here in July.

I think you donā€™t need to get any more width until your throws are limiting your trick set. I just ordered spacers whenever it was convenient because I was ordering other things.

While working on loops specifically, the stock Loop 720s or Hornets are sufficient.

I too am looking forward to the AllYoYo Loop 720s :grin:

It looked pretty darn good to me. Any recoveries that donā€™t involve the yo-yo spinning out of control look amazing to me. :grin:
You were like a machine dude.

Thank you! I still have a long way to go but Iā€™m happy to feel like Iā€™m moving forward! Also happy Iā€™m having fun like looping is super fun now that it doesnā€™t feel so impossible! Hah so hard at first and still so hard sometimes but I can tell when I make mistakes and how to fix them so yah Iā€™m stoked!

I need to nab me a few glow in the dark yo-yos specifically loopers. Also more light up yo-yos. I walk the dog and loop at night with the light up throw but would be nice to switch it up.

Sadly itā€™s such a niche in a niche in a niche there arenā€™t allot of options available unless you go retro and get a good deal.

Yeah. Thereā€™s just something about the gluey white goodness of glow in the dark. Had to go retro on these. Itā€™s a good way to get vintage plastic though. These feel so much better than a brand new Yomega. My light up is a new Spectrum. It feels so cheap. Iā€™m wondering if the EX Spectrum is any better but I donā€™t want to pay more to find out. I fitted some 720 guts in these Fireball Glows and they are just amazing. While heavy though, I can say the MYY D5 feels very nice to me too.

Might as well light it up! Iā€™ll wait until dark.

I found those in Japan (them not me) last year.

Ohh good. I donā€™t need another looper. Something Iā€™ll try to put out of my brain for now but will probably toss on my ā€œshortā€ list ( not sure if I can call the list short anymoreā€¦) some glow loopers would be awesome.

The AllYoYo 720s were fun to test out at the AZ State Contest
