I learned the trick, not perfect but damn this one was so tricky for me to film for some reason. I can not for the life of me succeed the rejection part right after the first star from the combo on camera… [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/d/9/fd9e59f3747ac670bd716d9ef2be30f36790706e.jpeg "TaW #31 + #9") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLRYarPZJkA) Also threw in #8 picture slideshow! Super awesome tutorial from @MoonageMin! You should add the link of the slow-mo only with commentary version on the first post! It was a massive help to learn it. ---

**T-A-W WEEK #32 1.5 HOOK** Here’s a neat one! It’s a step up from a previous trick we did here (Hidemasa Hook). 1.5 hook! Looks really flashy and it’s super nice because it ends in a Trap+Bro so it can fit into combos extremely easily! I hope everyone is staying safe 🙂 1.5 Hook: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/1/0/910a8dfa9d46f00c21208834a5ce79363a6ba637.jpeg "Learn the 1.5 Hook 1A Yoyo Trick") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS3I6snXJMM) Hidemasa Hook: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/3/3/6337ff91fdbc159ff0cfc41e1b79b248ce7b201e.jpeg "Hidemasa Hook Yoyo Trick") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAa48RwZEA8) ---

So i landed this nice TaW combo last night. Ive been playing with kwigibo smoothie duck pond for a while but i throw a whip and a brother vanish in and i think it flows nicely. Back to these hooks, I’ll try to Get either hook down this week. Think i need to whip a lot stronger or faster to get these hooks.

That’s a really good looking combo! I love that vanish between the kamikaze and the smoothie. Mexican Duck Pond makes for a great finisher! > [@AKYOYOMIKE](#): > > Think i need to whip a lot stronger or faster to get these hooks. Same problem here. Actually I think I throw the hidemasa hook too strong, and the 1.5 not enough. Let’s do this! ---

For 1.5 hook, it helps immensely if you use a string that is weighty and maintains momentum through both parts of the hook. You _can_ do it with any string, but it’s much harder. ---

Well, perfect timing! 😛 Between the Markmont Formulas I got recently and some really awesome prototypes made by @Arlequinlover, I’m blessed with whippy strings lately! Although I do have to admit that after trying for a little bit, I’m not even _remotely close_ to succeed the 1.5 mount lol ---

Not gonna lie, this had my scratching my head for a little while before that Aha! moment hit on how to make the catch. Trying to practice in front of a fan didn’t help either 🤦‍♂️ Also love the combo @AKYOYOMIKE! And @stringKnot solid star combo with bonuses! I dig the black and white look going on too ---

Well, after a small hour of trying non-stop I finally landed it unexpectedly ! In total, only managed to land it twice. I estimate it at a 1% success rate lol! Here’s one of the very rare videos in which I won’t crop my face 🤣 [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/f/b/5fb88fa85972655420c787e88dc7caa8133884ae.jpeg "1.5 hook") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfjCdsBs_Jo) ---

But after some recommendations from many players. I start to make slow string for slacks rather for whip. Maybe you should try the fat string proto (28 thread). If you have it. ---

Hmm, hard to count the nylon threads but I think the thickest one I got was the 50/50 Nylon/Poly (I think it’s 24 threads as I count 12 Poly). But all of your protos I tried are really whippy in my opinion, it’s night and day compared to Kitty XL or 1.5! Markmont Copernicus/Dragon are even more whippy, they’re almost like little chains haha! So I’m using those to get the hang of the hook 😄 ---
