What is sliding counterweight, is it like what Tyler Severance did for his cool tangler liek thing at his 2007 worlds winning freestyle? And if so, how do you tie the counterweight for that? ---

Sliding counter weight is when you have a normal counterweiht attached and another one one the string that can move up and down. ---

And if so, how do you tie the counterweight for that? There are 2 counterwheights, tie one and just thread the other one.Have a smaller hole in the counterwheight. EDIT:2 counterwheights where in the first video, thats Double D. in just the sliding counterwheight you ether:1.Just have a bigger knot at the end of the string. 2.Have a smaller hole in the counterwheight. ---

you could either put one normal counter weight on and then put another one on the string but you can also make a big knot on the end of the string and put a counterweight on ---
