So today I got about a 20 second fingerspin on both the Format:C and the T1. How? By landing in the little dimple area where the axle is (like the Valor type thing). Has anyone else done this? lol 😃 ---

Yep, done it on my Valor and benchmark with ULs. Haven’t tried it with my Markmont Classic yet, I’ll have to give that a shot later ---

I can see how it would get addicting. It’s sort of like kendama. I personally get really annoyed at the fingerspin thing, and I never try it. ---

I only landed it cleanly 3 times but it fell off each time. Do you have a method for doing this? I just do a front style side throw and hop it up (but not too high). You kinda just have to commit I guess. I have hardly any fingernail atm FYI. ---

I can’t land on the through-hole for the life of me. Heck, I can’t even land the Prestige dimple. But I like doing “ghetto matador” with those kinds of yoyos. :wink: ---
