I’ve noticed that I have had a lot of trouble on the first hop of Spirit Bomb. I know that it is similar to that of Kuijibo’s first hop, but that doesn’t help. Do you guys have any tips for the first hop? ---

2 little tips: 1. do smaller hops, it leaves less room for error. 2. when you do the first two moves after the wrist mount (passing your finger under twice), try and do them small so there’s not a bunch of space for the yoyo to miss the top string. This also leaves a bigger triangle to go through on the second pop. then practice, a lot! ---

Don’t let any strings fall off of your fingers. And keep the yoyo directly centered over the strings, this leaves less room for error.
