Lol one day! And okay will do! I think I can manage the beginning but don’t think I’ll be able to do the cw swing circle moves smooth enough yet but I might just grind that part. I think I get all the moves idk what happened but my Yoyo vision is good now like rarely does anything seem as shrouded in mystery as it once did so I’m a little stoked about that ---

I always forget this generally and have to actively remind myself this so I’m glad for all the reminders I can get lol these are super sick binds and I gotta get at least one 5a specific bind this month. I also have been doing that third one recently! What’s that called? bc I can’t keep calling it the smooth old head bind to myself… it’s a sick bind though always such a perfect wind ---

I don’t think there’s a name for redirecting your undermount before binding. It’s just way too simple for anybody to claim/name it. Might be wrong though. That’s what I do like 95% of the time because it’s just so low effort, feels good, and always gives a tight bind even on yoyos with really slippy response. Bad habit though, I need to do cooler binds more often. I have a lot of 1A binds, but my 5A binds are lacking The switch hand bind feels very 5A since you can do it under the leg/bind the back. Alternatively you could just do something real simple like when you get into an undermount, do a reverse 360 before the redirect. Same bind that you’ve been doing recently, but just looks a little more “5A”.

Threw these new @Woozie WoozieWeights™️ on the Dreamland and Hummingbird. First impressions are that they are a little easier to maneuver, and make a nicer sound when they impact something (catch or error, lol). Loving them so far! The Hummingbird is probably the first yoyo I’ve tried that I did not like for 5A. I think it’s too light for my taste/skill level. Gonna throw the purple WoozieWeight™️ on my Trion Crash next! ![PXL_20230520_193644712](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/2/b/d2ba98481b8f0fb067a1d39a2b0dd0b967518f84.jpeg) ---
