Learning the wrist mount and the double or nothing can lead to trick innovation. I’ve experimented with those mounts and I’ve came up with a few new tricks. Chopsticks can also lead to some nice tricks.

yea i know those and quite a few mounts already. i just want advice on where to maneuver the yoyo, what to do with the strings, should i roll or pop out of this string?, etc. thanks though!

Question: Have you tried stringing tricks that you know together to make combos?
I suggest both. Popping the you and catching it with slack is a good one.
yea usually when i throw i just mash all the tricks i know in one throw.
Another question: How long have you been pursuing this as a serious hobby?
i usually just throw in my free time. i have school n all but its w/e. been throwing for almost a year now

Nice. I think learning some easy combos would be helpful to learning harder combos.
yea right now i just want my style to be simple and clean
Okay, first understand that Chuck and Jens have been doing this for several years. They are on a completely different level.
Another question: do you understand elements? Like, can you dissect tricks that you know to make or embellish other tricks?

The Wasabi GT is a good one. You can find it on Yotricks. https://youtu.be/5JLBTS0B3Lw
That’s fine. You do you.
Pro tip: Practice repeaters. You can even make up your own. Back to this in a second though.
When you’re learning a trick, you usually have to break it up into steps. The key to making your style smooth, is learn a trick, and then learn how to smooth out those transitions between each broken down step of the trick. The key is repetition, practice practice practice. That is why I suggest learning some repeaters, or make your own! Anything that you can do over and over and over during one throw will help you develop flow.

I would say pick up a responsive yo-yo. Those really do help with the flow.
