Anyone make any progress on this one today (monday)?

I feel like Iā€™m 2 or 3 weeks behind. Iā€™m just now starting to get Kamikaze downā€¦but that was from 3 weeks ago. Today I was doing pretty good with Superflowā€¦but that was a week ago!
lol
Not much progress on the Duck Pond for me today.
Iā€™ve landed in the chopstick mount a couple of times nowā€¦but Iā€™m still at the point where it feels super awkward. Iā€™ve got a lot of practice to put in so that it stops feeling so weird. I think once I get use to doing it, itā€™ll become a lot easier.

Iā€™m about the same as you. Iā€™m getting more consistent with the chopsticks part, but still not anywhere near being able to do it reliably. Having fun with it though. This is going to be satisfying to land

Iā€™m still very inconsistent with the chopsticks mount, but, when I land that, I can finish the trick. Right now, it is more of a Mexican Duck Puddle than Pond, but, it is only Tuesday of a Holiday week!

But this is pretty much where Iā€™m at with the mount used in the Duck Pond trickā€¦though I havenā€™t given it a go today yet, and I feel like I was making some slight progress on it last nightā€¦so Iā€™m hopeful!

The proper way and easiest way of doing chopsticks is to not jump up, but to roll it over. Swing a little bit to add momentum and just roll over the thumb. Its all about the flow with chopsticks.

Akiba has a great tutorial. He is the chopstick expert, and his signature yoyo is even called the chopstick gorilla.

Thank you David Iā€™ll try that method. :slight_smile:

I feel like I need to have my hand more parallel maybe (as in my finger and thumb parallel to the ground) to maximise space.

Yea when I learned chopsticks it was difficult but the main tips that helped where that, to keep the fingers parallel to the floor, flow it, and to also make sure the string was in the right place

I can see in your vid that your trapeze is too small. You gotta make it bigger. You got the right technique in the roll over but the trapeze is too short so you bonk your thumb.

Havenā€™t gotten my practice session in for the day yet (usually donā€™t get them in till late evening)ā€¦but these tips are just what I needed! :smiley:
