It’s kind of funny because it was the VERY FIRST result that showed up when I typed in lord of the flies yoyo trick tutorial on google.

Did anybody else try this just for the heck of it? I did, and I got the same result. A tutorial for Branding was the second thing listed.

“but I gotta learn the variation!”

@Raigo

News Flash!
Its a variation of “lord of the flies”

@andy569

Wow, the OP really is ignoring everyone that mentions lord of the flies

You know nightshadow… There’s already tutorials on how to do the trick… Like this one : www.youtube.com/watch?v=V69scLjSACU

Abby, your Follow pwns. My crappy attempts at Follow are nowhere near that good.

In the yotricks tutorial they start From an iron whip, not a follow…

[nightshadow]

But I like the follow better

I’ve been at it for months, too. Everybody has a different style of “pinching” the string and I just can’t come across one that’s reliable. If you have it in you, could you film a close-up of just the throw-hand doing your follow, from the front but also from above-ish? Like coerce a parent or friend or sibling to hold the camera over your shoulder or something? Haha!

Even breaking down how you do the pinch/grab is appreciated.

I know there are plenty of Follow tutorials out there, and I get the concept so I don’t need a full tutorial or anything… no need to explain the motion and whatnot… I just need to see someone else’s hand to determine how their grip works.

This goes for anyone else who happens to read the thread! All it will take is one person’s particular grip working for me… the only one that I can do at all is to full-on GRAB the sucker with my whole fist, which makes the “flip around” transition (so that the loop doesn’t just wrap around your hand) sloppy-looking.

I will see what I can do when I have the chance luckily I have no school tomorrow due to the the jewish holiday rosh hashanah so I should be able to film of the weather permits. because sunshine helps.

I just trapeze-dismount-around TH-pinch with TH thumb. not even a grab, the other 4 fingers are still pointing straight forward… And yes you can still do LoF with this formation…

Yeah. I have to do this with a very precise part of my thumb. If I try to do it just by squeezing my thumb against my hand, the string slips through. My skin is so dry and the flesh there is kinda… mushy but not plump… so the string just slides right through.

I learned the trick with gloves on, and thats even before I learned stuff like hook. /topic
In the beginning and for a long time I could only do like 2-3 reps. It was not until recently (like right before wyyc) that I started to ever consider throwing without gloves lol /which is also when I started to teach myself something other than speed combos. Now I can do 5-7 reps with gloves and 10+/indefinitely without them.

There’s no doubt that the main ingredient is practice. With enough practice, even the “precise pinch” that I have to do would become second nature. But if I can find a better grip to begin with, all the better.
