Got some great input on this trick in Cleveland last week.
So glad to get help, but now I have to try to break some bad habits and in a way I feel like I am starting over. It seems to be one of those tricks that can always be improved on.
But if it was easy, everyone would do it ;).
Well, the first thing I was doing was maybe not throwing high enough on the fwd throw, it’s a pretty shallow angle or V . The second thing is I was maybe throwing too hard, i have to develop the feel for letting gravity do more of the work, and focus on keeping the yo-yo centered. That’s most of it, but it really does feel like I have to change old habits.
Oh, and I had heard that the yo-yo shouldn’t get super close to your throw hand, but they get very close, Bill de Boisblanc says he sometimes rolls it right by his thumb.
