Best advice I can give you is to shorten your string. A LOT of top 5a players use a very short string, as it makes controlling both the yoyo and the counterweight easier to control. It’ll feel awkward at first but try to stick with it for a little bit. Other than that, it was pretty good for a beginner. Some of the movements weren’t very graceful (shorter string would help), but hey, you’re a beginner. ---

I’ll give it a Go though! What did ya think of the actual tricks? ---

Get the CW moving more ! And Try a Surge with thin shims for 5A it’s perfect! Matches up to the Classic IMO just helps with spin time. ---
