> [@Navythrow](#): > > I’ve been trying to do this for a solid like, 2 months, and I’ve made more progress in ONE day because of this tutorial than the rest of the time combined. Thank you very much. I’m surprised there haven’t been more tutorials for this since its so darn cool looking. > > At this point, I can hit it about 1 out of 5 times with a solid bind. Still struggling with the bind part. Also, about 1 out of every 20 or so I end up getting the string wrapped around my finger by accident while I’m getting into the finger spin and it feels like I’m going to cut my finger off lol. Pretty rough when it happens fast. Thats awesome to hear! The bind is definitely the hardest part when you’re learning IMO. Just remember to whip at a good pace and keep your hands close to the yoyo when you do the follow through so the string doesnt drop to your fingers as easily 🙂 @SkyHighYo I would wait for the blasted Shutter for even better results! 🙂 ---

> [@SkyHighYo](#): > > Thanks for the advice on the Strix. I think I’ll skip that one and grab a Shutter. Then the Shutter and Mo are going head to head, whoever feels better to me will stay. The other will go. Got a blasted shutter, and already sold it. The Mo-Vitation is better at fingerspins hands down no questions asked ---

I’ve done a fingerspin on a spinstar :), so if you practice enough you can do it on a protostar (spinstar is harder than a protostar). [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/fingerspin-tutorial-this-is-a-trick-everyone-should-know-and-love/58468.md?page=4)
