:+1: Try the finger spin without gloves, making contact with just your finger nail. A Shutter is a hard yo-yo to learn to spin with though. Have you tried any others? ---

Okay embarrassing levels but here is my current progress. Can kind of do the first little bit that leads up to the hook. Kind of but looks meh. Now need to keep practicing until I can do it without looking like a pee pee. And also do the rest of the trick hahaha #LunchBreakPractice @work [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/4/f/44f460348c4c03dbb024fffb0219b85d49492093.jpeg "Absurdity #1 before the hook (10/1/20)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gq9rInr6ys) ---

Here’s my fingerspin practice so far. Hops are new, whip to helix bind I new and I hope to start this off with a banana turnover. I’m hoping to have this all down with a different yoyo by the end on the weekend so that might be a bit ambitious. [Fingerspin first practice update](https://youtu.be/w047nrITExs) ---

Hm, it seems learning to finger spin at work is not a good idea. Introduced vibe to my otherwise dead smooth VTWO… Oh well… EDC beater now.

> [@MoonageMin](#): > > Introduced vibe to my otherwise dead smooth VTWO… Daaamn dude I hope that wasn’t your telly! Have you gone through tuning a yoyo yet? All might not be too lost. I’ve bounced many yoyos on the floor many times over and got away with it plenty so I doubt the throw will be damaged. Maybe a battle scrape or two but should be reet ---

Cheers buddy. Im using a plastic skyva, hence it kinda feels like cheating. That’s why ideally I’ll have the whole combo done on a different yoyo. . Although I learned fingerspins at least a year ago I’ve not practiced them at all during play so this might be the most time I’ve spent learning them! I usually cut out me getting really excited after getting a clean take but this is progress updates so all stays in [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/moonagemin-twitchs-trick-a-week-challenge-2020/311398.md?page=49) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/moonagemin-twitchs-trick-a-week-challenge-2020/311398.md?page=51)
