While throwing some Eli Hops I added yet another crater in my drywall. 8’ ceilings in the office just aren’t tall enough for hops… guess that makes 4 dents and one ceiling fan. Well what about you, how many dents do you have? And/or what have you broken with a yoyo? 🤣 _Poll ([view on site](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/how-many-ceiling-dents-do-you-have/360472/1))_ ---

I’m pretty careful about the ceilings, but the walls get hit on occasion. ---

Same here. @Roman_Soup, may I suggest aiming the Eli Hops in another direction? Like maybe towards the side instead of upwards. I think it looks cooler and it avoids hitting the ceiling. The only issue is that it takes a bit to get down.

One day I’ll get directional hops. One day. I can hit 'em up and slightly off (like maybe a 115 degree angle? 🤷🤣) but the side ones are my nemesis. It’s like magic drop… one of those things that should be easy, but for whatever reason my brain just doesn’t work that way. 🤣🤣🤣 ---

> [@Roman\_Soup](#): > > It’s like magic drop… one of those things that should be easy, but for whatever reason my brain just doesn’t work that way. 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly I won’t say it should be easy, it’s actually pretty damn tough, especially when you have gotten used to the timing and rhythm of regular upward Eli Hops. You have to delay moving your hands together a lot more than usual to get the yoyo to move towards the side. The yoyo needs to be almost perpendicular to the ground when dismounting from the trapeze before you pull your hands together to get the yoyo moving towards the side. ---

I’m short enough that I can get away with it if I bend my knees, although sometimes I don’t bend them enough because I have a habit of scraping the floor on regens when I bend my knees too much. There’s no winning for me with 0A. Anything immediately above and below me is in danger. ---

I’ve got drop ceilings in my basement office so no real big deal there. They just lift. 🙂 I do have one TV under my belt. Hotel room, smaller space and one got away from me. I played my karma card and came clean at the front deck. That one cost me a few bucks. Turns out those hotel TVs are a bit expensive as they aren’t standard. The manager split the cost with me ($800) because I was honest. It was funny explaining that I have a yo-yo habit. 🤪 [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/how-many-ceiling-dents-do-you-have/360472.md?page=2)
