Hi Everyone, Been slaving over the plastic whip lately and just cant get it right. Any tips for getting it down? (I know just keep practising is the main one). _UPDATE_ Never mind, I just got it ahhahaha. I guess practice is the best tip. ---

This trick brings back memories - me with my Pocket Pros Zombie. My bearing had just become unresponsive from breaking it in and my slick 6 string it came with had gotten a perma-knot. I ended up making some nylon string which had a nice whip to it before I even knew about different string types and their characeristics. When I learned Plastic Whip, I kind of did a forward upward arc with my throw hand. Within a few tries I finally got the yoyo to land in the whip. ---

Can someone list some trick out of the plastic whip, cause I really like it, but all I know is the g-flop, which I do out of the plastic whip… I wish I could find more uses for it 😃 ---

> [@noob123](#): > > Can someone list some trick out of the plastic whip, cause I really like it, but all I know is the g-flop, which I do out of the plastic whip… I wish I could find more uses for it 😃 I only know of 1 other, and a variation of it. That other use is frontstyle bind. I’m sure you already knew that one, but it’s worth mentioning that it’s useful. If nothing else, I can play unresponsive yoyo one-handed even if it’s nothing more than plastic whip to bind over and over. :wink: The variation is to let the entire plastic whip formation drape over the NTH forefinger. When you release the loop, it will drop into a bind (usually), which has a different look to it than swinging the plastic whip forward for the bind. ---

Oh, well, thanks, I guess I’ve already tried the things you both mentioned 😃 but I didn’t know the PW bind variation, so yea! 🙂 ---

I do the PW, Keychain, bind all the time. You can add bird in the nest in there too. It’s tricky to land with low walls though.
