It’s really nice to see how your journey has progressed since you started. 2 tops at the same time is such an impressive accomplishment.

So I finally tried a thicker string on my looper, and hit 5 loops for the first time in less than 5 minutes. I had tried several other tweaks over the past couple of months, but thought I was just trash and needed to grind it out a lot more. So validating! I think my actual 2A journey starts now.

What are you throwing?

Happy 2a Tuesday everyone. I didn’t practice any specifics so how about the first easy thing that came to mind… :rofl:

This guy:
Anyone else have one of these??

I started adjusting my setup with the basic double/triple twisting the loop around the transaxle, using vaseline on the axle, and experimenting with string length. All of that helped, but there was still a little lag in the response. Rubbing a small amount of pure shea butter onto the end of the string helped a bit more, and at this point I figured I just needed more practice.

Ultimately, swapping my thin bulk poly string for a slightly thicker Zipline Exec Lite (which I had previously cut too short for my 1A throws) made a world of difference. I guess getting the set up just right really is crucial for 2A.

I’m still waiting for the easy part.

I have one or two of those somewhere but I’d have to dig for it. So, yeah. A proper set up makes it feel a little more possible. I’d say a transaxle is going to be harder to learn with. May I send you a pm?

Hard agree.

Transaxle needs allot of help to be consistent. Specifically you need lubricant in a transaxle to loop it well.
