I recently got a freehand nextgen and I have been trying to learn som 5A. Any tips or pointers to look out for to make learning 5A easier?
One thing I’ve had trouble with is catching the counterweight at speed, especially without watching it all the time. So I made a simple trainer that lets me just practice swinging the counterweight around at different speeds (slowly at first, and speeding up a little at a time) and catching it, both while watching it and then without watching it.
I just hold the open loop in the first couple fingers of my left (non-throw) hand and swing the counterweight around with that hand, catching it in my throw hand, over and over and over.
