Yeah the non dominant hand is where the real 2A work is at. The syncopation is where you have to free your mind and let muscle memory take over. I like to have bright colors as it helps me keep track of where they are spatially when flying around. Did a lot of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde combos today and working on vertical loops

Doing some endurance reps 2A, with 250 consecutive inside-outside loops. Starting to loose count and might just switch to timed intervals. Really feeling the burn in the forearms making 2A a workout.

Thatās awesome! Iāve been working forever on jus trying to get 3 or 4 from my left hand. Iām right-handed. I think Iām doing myself harm by not saying with one yoyo to practice with.

It has definitely taken the last couple of years. What helped me the most was just playing consistently with my non-dominant hand which is my left hand. I have a couple yoyo which I consider my left handed yoyos, these are geared for beginner play, a first gen Butterfly XT and a YYF Play Series Black Cat. I started out with the Butterfly XT trying to walk around the block just doing Planet Hops, as itās an infinite neutral string tension trick. This definitely helped build initial strength, had a Raider then got the Black Cat, then I would just do left handed loop and do around the Worlds and worked on basics as I did that walk around the block. I still go back to the XT and keep it in a coat pocket. Even today as I play with my 720 2A loopers; Iām doing alternating left-right forward passes, break-aways and dueling Around the Worlds to loosen up.

I am going to write a review of the Yoyofactory Go. I just received it late yesterday and had a chance to play it today for a total of about an hour or two on and off. It is what I was looking for. Read my post on the Yomega Fireball. It is an inexpensive non-bearing plastic looping yoyo. I can play it without worry of damaging my wooden if I bang it on something. It is currently produced so I donāt need to worry about it being discontinued, and not being able to find a new one or replacement parts.
It loops beautifully!
I have already increased my number of left-hand loops to about 6 or 8 lefthanded. (Iām right-handed)

2A on this Tuesday Iām not counting loops and alternating to control tension. Today Iām just trying to feel for the tension and doing long time intervals between stops. Outside, Inside, Fence Hops, UFOs, Sidwiders, Around the Worlds, Planet Hops, Shoot the Moons and mixing random left right combinations to get different Jekyll and Hyde dualing series. Also reminding myself about having fun with it and not getting hung up on being technical.

Not Tuesday but got some free time. Working on injectionsā¦ took a break and grabbed my 720 and just did some alternating in/ outside loops right hand for 4 minā¦ a birdy told me if you loop in/out the string stays neutral. That was awesome. Now my forearm is soreš

I figured you knew you where the bird i was talking about. There alternating loops are amazing. I even got it going on my left hand but not 4 consecutive minutes. Looking forward to Tuesdayš

2A I am playing some fresh Duncan Hornets I picked up from the National Yoyo Day Sale. Out of the package the Hornets played a little slower than my 720s. However I laced these up today with some white Fist Salud Loop String Lite. These strings are made by Kiity and are thinner than Kitty Regulars and have a nice rebound in the tension to help speed up the Hornets. Iām really having a good session with these, though it might just be the fresh starbursts and strings.

Iāll join in on 2A Tuesday too. Have not seriously practiced my loops in a long time and been meaning to learn 2A since forever.
Threw some of my bearing loopers around and it wasā¦scary. Better go back to basics with good olā wood and working on those flips!

Iāve been so hyped on my Hornets, that Iāve been playing a little 2A everyday this week. I even broke a string yesterday. I took a look at the wear on the other string to compared it with a new Fist Salud Loop String Lite and some new Duncan White Bulk Poly. I only have one more pair of Fist Salud so I going to use some bulk this week. The Duncan Bulk isnāt wound at tight at the FSLSL, but itās only $0.10 a string compared to $1.85 a string. I also saw this on the Instagram from @junkout2020 inspiring me to play more 2A on the go.

Practicing with a brand new Loop 720. For some reason this came with green spacers; I thought āJapanese Editionā 720s came with red spacersā¦
