Nice whip to 1.5, I still can’t get that down. I think that’s harder than this entire trick.
I got the hook down, but setting it up is still not smooth.
Nice pick @Mystik. This is a fun and interesting one.

Once i slowed the setup process down its a lot more managable. Still cant hit it all the time but once i slowed down the setup it all clicked together

Thanks man! I still have trouble catching them with less than my entire NT hand. Starting with a negative hook is super fun too

Ok, I’m consistently getting the hook, but pretty sure the hook isn’t as it should be… The strings seem crossed and around the back of my hand.

I have this issue sometimes too… when the tension is set and ypu are flicking down and right to release the string, make sure you are flicking parallel with the string and arent flicking your TH to the right and back towards your body. Does that make sense?

At the moment I’m pushing the slack down and slightly under the yoyo to ensure the whip is getting around. I can’t even work out where the tension is coming from, as I’m sure the tension should be pulling the hook around.
This is how my hook is ending up, but sometimes it is more over the back of my hand:

Try to keep your NTH 90°

What do you mean by 90 degrees?
Heres some practice, i literally had 5-10 mins when i got home. Dont mind my messy work shirt. And as you can see im still trying to get this smooth as well. But heres some practice shots. Second clip is a full shot but not smooth. I will continue to get cleaner.
you can see from this angle im keeping my NTH at 90 degrees or straight. My TH shoots down and to the right.

I know you’re trying to help and it’s appreciated, but I’m confused by what you’re saying about the NTH? Can you point out what I’m doing differently…? Might be something really simple I’m missing.

Cracked it, was holding the wrong string I think!
EDIT - I was indeed holding the wrong string and have now hit it several times. Does it matter what side of the throw the slack goes over?

Sorta. Can be bad or could be cool. I’ve only hit the wrong side with this hook once so I forget what it does. Some hooks it’s a problem, others you just have to dismount differently—which can ruin the flow of your combo or whatever, or it can be cool.

So, not the prettiest entrance into the mount, but think I have it down finally…

Nice! Yea the entrance is the hardest part for me too. I have to consciously use my thumb early to grab that string

Not even close to you guys but I’ve been working on tension hooks from previous Trick-a-Week and im happy to say i can hit the DoN tension hook consistently!

Week #24 : Dorito
This trick is a (hopefully fun) variation of cheese whip, and it has a cheesy name. Enjoy.
Edit: yes, we apparently forgot how to count, but I believe this is in fact week 24.

Oooo I have this one down already, so can focus on getting the slack one consistent!

Happy Father’s Day. This one wasn’t that hard, will try to smooth it out more and get it into a combo… back to the tension hooks now.
