Hey guys. If you chat with me you probably know that I couldn’t do a brent stole a while back. I just learned how to do it. But something is wrong: my brent stole is WAAAY too small. I just can’t make it larger. Any tips? ---

Moving your fingers closer together might help. 🙂 ---

But something is wrong: my brent stole is WAAAY too small. I just can’t make it larger. Any tips? You can’t really make it larger. They’re just always really small. That is the way it is. ---

i usually just compensate after. right as it lands just make a few quick adjustments, like if you wanted to make a GT bigger how you just kinda work it, but i do it really fast to make it smooth. after a while it just becomes part of the trick and it gets to be second nature, part of the muscle memory. ---

Just keep doing it over and over again. That’s what I did and I made my Brent Stoles larger without noticing. ---
