Of course the only answer is that you must buy 2-3 more of each so you can play them all forever while keeping those cozy and warm in their packaging. :thinking:🤣 ---

Actually I think the second two were too steep of an angle. It varies from throw to throw, but I usually start with a very slight upward angle on the forward pass. ---

Try with a slightly shorter string on a Duncan Butterfly when time permits please. Shooting the Moon is far easier on my Butterfly than my Kasm Edit: Definitely play around with string length, there is definitely a sweet spot for me. Same with string tension, too tight and I got issues, too lose and I’m loosing a tooth And Alphaline treats me real good in the Butterfly ---

This is with a Butterfly. It’s just a video of me, zoomed in on my wrist motions. I couldn’t tell you if I am using proper form by National yoyo league standards, but it works for me. I honestly don’t even know if looking at my wrist motions is of any help, but it’s my favorite trick, and I really want to help any way I can. ---
