I’ve started filming my 4a competition combos.&nbsp; Here is part one of two.

Nice vid, thanks for the tut. I really like how flowy it is. I get a knot after the boing following the roll, thoughts on what I’m doing wrong?

Also ive never used a glove in 4a before, thoughts on the differences?

P.s. thanks for getting me into 4a at worlds this year. I’ve really gotten into it since.

If you send me a video of what you are doing I can try to troubleshoot for you ([mryoyothrower@gmail.com](mailto:mryoyothrower@gmail.com))  
I use a glove for boings (cuts down on string burn) and for finger grinds (plastic throws don’t grind as well as metal).  
Happy to have converted someone to the Joy of 4a!

I solved the issue for myself. I was doing something weird with my strings and rolling onto a different string.  
I realize now after a day or two of using gloves how useful they are. Thanks for the opinion on gloves and being willing to help fix my user error.
