Is that what 6 months is supposed to look like?  
Oh man, I’m doing something wrong.

No need to worry, I find that slower players tend to find more control over the yoyo and have cleaner string movements. The big names is yoyoing also learned at slower paces so I would not be too worried.

Wow, that’s incredible. And as other newbies have said, I feel like my 14 months or so of practice hasn’t gotten me nearly far enough.

But as far as the video goes, that’s really good. You don’t just have the moves down, you have it smooth and flowing from move to move. That’s really well done.

Haha. I’ve spent most of this year just throwing to the different mounts trying to make them automatic and effortless. My tricks may be boring to most but for me they’re more like a meditation now 🕶
