Just spent my entire lunch break working on beef hook some more. I had switched to just trying to do it from a trapeze and that helped me understand what should be happening with the string and yoyo. Now working on the “flowy” beefhook from double or nothing and landing it maybe 1 in 10 tries now. I’ve been working on this trick on and off for months now, feels so freaking good to finally have it “click” and be able to hit it, and not just out of pure luck lol. ---

Finally feeling confident with beefhook so decided to take a quick video. Though I do only have one response pad on this yoyo, so binding is fun [https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVlP-chq9C/?utm\_source=ig\_share\_sheet&igshid=sv2mghmszafe](https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVlP-chq9C/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=sv2mghmszafe) ---

Have you tried it from double or nothing? I think it’s easier because you get some momentum from the little flip before tossing the yoyo over, which helps bring that loop around your TH pointer. I’ve also found having my TH higher than my NTH helps too. ---

I love the contest scene, but judging tricks based off how they score is super cancerous to the hobby imo. ---

Finally got the Rolling Inverted GT from Tyler Severence’s Bite Sized Tutorials. Needs some work to be a smooth repeater but at least the mechanics are down.

2.0 requires a bit more precision than 2.5 imo with 2.5 you can wrap the first string around your throwhand wrist and have a wider distance between the strings. with 2.0 you line up all yo fingers ---

Finally landed a Spirit Bomb… well I think I did… only needed to roll the yoyo back onto one string once to get out of the mount (thought you had to do two rolls like a wrist mount). Managed to land it a couple times after, but sometimes missing the string underneath… ---
