I donā€™t really play responsive very much. I have an Oracle and a sage. Which would be better for learning shoot the moon?

123

The Oracle is the more imperial shaped one yes? If so thats the one that would likely be better.

I landed my first StM yesterday. Struggling a bit with the timing, but Iā€™ll get it down. So far I like my Delrin Gamer better than my RBC for this, but maybe thatā€™s just because it saves my beginner knuckles some wear and tear.

I havenā€™t ventured outside of 1A for the past 10 years or so. Itā€™s refreshing to try something new.

Nice! You got this. I got a deep state on the way and Iā€™m gonna pack the bearing with grease. Iā€™m at about 14 now.

Hands down, my favorite yo-yo to do this on is the old school Henryā€™s Viper - thereā€™s something about doing it on a super bouncy/rubbery v-shaped yo-yo thatā€™s both thrilling and easy, haha!

Been working STMā€¦ Iā€™ve even improved my left a bunchā€¦ nothing 2 at a time yet (thatā€™s some scary stuff to practice! )

Question whats the string torsion you guys STM with? Do you keep it tight or neutral?

Well i didnā€™t get to my goalā€¦ these STMs are hardā€¦ but i can STM 2x consistently on my left and i can hit 9 with my right.
Anyone else still working on theseā€‹:wink::upside_down_face::slightly_smiling_face:
