This week looks fun!

I’ve never tried playing my Kasm fixed. Does one of the included bearing locks do the trick, or do I need them on both bearing seats? @wayne927

One should be enough. But if the bearing still spins for some reason, sandwich it with two.

Any tips on the backhand balance to lunar? I feel like my biggest issue is that the loop isn’t large enough coming from the underhand stall but I haven’t found a good way to correct that.

Here’s 3/4.

I’m going to get the backhand balance to lunar by the end of the week. Is it all right if I get into the backhand balance from trapeze stall? I tend to have better loop control on the trapeze as opposed to the undermount.

I’m no expert but I can hit the lunar landing. If you look close, I don’t think it’s the loop you’re after but more bringing your TH thumb close to your middle finger to stretch out the string for the landing.

🤯

I’ve been aiming for the loop, but you’re right, you catch the string between the throw and your hand.

Thank you so much!

I just learned it today. He’s right you wanna more so close your thumb to your palm then catch the string under the yoyo on extension. I was aiming for the loop with 99% failure
