Sure you donā€™t want to invest time in smooth and flowy tricks? Personally I find them more satisfying than something that looks or is complicated. Someone will answer this directly though.

I donā€™t really mind that I put time and effort into the trick. The main problem is that I donā€™t know what kind of tricks work well :sweat_smile: and if I even attempt tech without knowing what Iā€™m doing it just going to be a bundled mess of string :joy:

What exactly is Tech again? I donā€™t think I knowā€¦ I probably do lots of tech tricks then. When I think of tech, it reminds me of ā€œcats cradleā€ types of tricks, manipulations where the payoff may be a tower. Some picture tricks seem like ā€œtechā€ to me.

Iā€™m missing something.

This tech tutorials series made by Tech Creators (Nehemiah Peterson and Greg Angel of One Drop) is a good place to start.

I do some of these elements, never knew they were defined as tech. Some have a lot of steps to remember.

I think of tech as the pursuit of density. Like, If you have multiple string wraps and kinks beyond the standard mounts. Iā€™m no expert though and I struggle with it. I donā€™t know how he isnā€™t constantly getting knots in all those tutorials lol.

Huh, I am after flowy, maintaining a fluidity of motion. Itā€™s the style I like best, ā€œdensityā€ does not come to mind. I appreciate your explanation it makes sense. Lately have been watching Nate Martsolf (sp) who seems to have this type of style. He is excellent, but not on a different planet excellent. What I mean is I can take some elements here and there without being totally frustrated. Partly because the flow is good.

Flow is where itā€™s at. I try to focus on how the yoyo is moving through space and try to find creative ways to keep it moving. I think itā€™s good to learn tricks from all styles to have more options to choose from to keep the flow going in the moment.
