My new lateral caps don’t seem slick. I can’t spin it on my finger for more than 2-3 seconds…

In videos they spin longer, like the theory or the Quest…

You spin it on your fingernail. On my theory, the finger spins are endless. I cut my nails the other day so I can not do them anymore. Grow out your thumbnail a bit and use that.

Yes it’s nail based.

Put on a yoyo glove if you have no nails like me.
