iāve tried to work that into unresponsive combos and getting the snag to hit the right spot is hard lol
edit: the unresponsive STM, not the sick laceration tower after lol

Truly legendary. I want to be able to do that one day.
This trick is so elusive, even after all the practice I still donāt havenāt figured out the best way to set it up. So far 20 seems to be my best, I have done it a few times, but lots of attempts fall apart around 4 or 5.
I was never into looping tricks so maybe it is just a lack of experience, but it seems like everything has to be perfect for it to work, the string, the response, the weight of the yo-yo and the shape (forget trying on an imperial, maybe 2 clean reps).
Anyways itās a good thing I have a high tolerance for fail. I think juggling reprogrammed my brain.

this is the vast majority of my experience playing with STM, its my favorite trick because of how much precision and finesse is required for something that looks so simple

iāve found that the most important part is just keeping the string perfectly centered on the plane the yoyo is spinning on, that will require adjustements left/right to keep the angles straight. after a while i even learned i can correct which way the plane is facing by being purposefully off plane a little bit.
this assumes that your yoyo is set up nice for consistent response

Thatās what it seems like to me, but I have a hard time seeing it. I donāt usually have that kind of focus with yo-yo tricks, but StM really demands that ninja focus deal. Then if I can get my string lined up, itās a matter of keeping that smooth return, if it bounces at the end of the arc, itās all over.

Iād also suggest grinding regens and flips, as both force you to keep the string perfectly centred.

How does the Snap Back do for StM?
Can an old dog learn old tricks though? I was watching How To Be A Player yesterday and Neff mentioned not letting the yo-yo get closer than
6 inches to your hand. So I have been trying to keep it in a bit wider of an arc from my hand. It is taking some time to get used to it, but I think I have more control than before when it was closer.

Just saw this threadā¦I used to be fairly consistent with these back in the dayā¦not sure what kinda numbers I was pulling in though.
If memory serves me right, I was using either a Raider or Saber Raider, triple looped with a medium/short string. When I get a chance Iāll dig these out of storage and report back.
