I can do both, but prefer the front style throw over the breakaway. Most of my tricks use the front throw spin in a way that causes tricks at certain points to bind if done from a breakaway.
Anyway. Big no no I’ve had, has been not having enough imagination when the 3-5 year olds where I work ask for random things (shapes, objects) to be made out of the string to their liking.
talking about beginners who just give up on the breakaway. advanced players manage both spin directions in sidestyle. But if a beginner gives up at the breakaway, how would he/she be able to grind through all the crazy stuff?
my point is, if the breakaway gets the better of you, stick to call of duty maybe.
