Nice! I sometimes prefer it a bit shorter too but this has been a helpful ballpark to start with and I like it better than measuring every string out since it’s quick and easy. That said I may need to find another another method for when I want it shorter…maybe just measure the same way but to my wrist? I’ll mess around with it. Glad you found a length you like!

Time wise it takes me like max ten seconds with the measuring tape I use lol.
Open it to 110cm on the bench, pull on string 20 times to stretch it, measure out how long I want it and then go (i use 100cm)

Do we have a thread for soloham? If not we need to make one, because this thread is getting too long.

anyone know any intersting binds other than the ones covered by yotricks?

Not sure if it is so different but one I like is:
- spin backward
- throw yoyo straight up above your head a meter
- Move hand above your shoulder
- whip string into gap from behind palm facing toward you
- it will bind and comes straight down into your hand
Spinning backward allows for all sorts of binds from top or back. An idea to play with!

Here are a bunch of binds I like @eatpotaro ! I also really like the suggestion from @Kray and I was trying to land it but couldn’t quite land it with the time I had. Hope this provides some value!

If you whip do it like Spider-Man 
. Palm looking toward your face. Not sure if it helps but just to make it clearer

Has anyone got tips for longer routines?
ATM a major problem im dealing with is my 3rd throw basically ends up unthrowable almost always
what yoyo you using? smaller gap width means more snagging, but if you cant swap out spacers id reccomend shorter string and binding with less string. also if you arent doing this already, your throw should be an intercepted forward pass rather than a throw up. lmk if you want me to elaborate

Amulette pro default settings.
My first two throws are fine, and i think i end up overthinking the second one or binding on too low RPM cause im tryna max out the elements in one throw hmmm. And maybe just rushing it cause im tryna fit it all in one.
But its always consistently my 3rd throw that i snag
