For all who have problems with the thumb slack - what works for me is the hand you are whipping with should be slightly above the other. That helps the slack fall and travel around. @MEJBelloz@SR1 @LeftyThrower24 ---

Finally getting somewhere with this. Having the slack hand higher helps, and getting the slack to fall as opposed to throwing it seems to help me too. Struggling to get the beginning bit consistent, as the bigger slack keeps getting in the way. ---

Yeah thanks for sharing! I rarely do „tech“ 5A more the classic beestings, windmills, butterfly kinda tricks. Your tutorial definitely helps me extend my play style which is great. Be sure I definitely follow your other and future tutorials. ---

Do you know the trick that starts the same but you let the Yoyo fall into the slack. So let Yo-Yo hang, whip slack around same as in this tut and let Yo-Yo Fall in that slack? If you practice this you have no issue. The part that helps is when you throw the slack around it will just hit the Yoyo gap from behind and then it will not catch anywhere else.

I hate this trick and this is the best you’re getting from me this week… (Ok, it’s a nice trick, but jeez there are so many aspects I keep getting wrong).

This right here is the key! My nth was always way lower than my th trying to get a lot of arc and what not for the slack. I’m hitting it way more consistently now so thank you for this tip, might be the most important one of the whole trick to be honest ---

Very nice! Messing around with new mounts with each TaW is one of the most fun parts to me. Here’s a little tower to DGT you can do from the very first slack of suspense. ---

Did you find anything cooler to do from the tower? I messed with a handful of DGT setups from it but none of them really feel right, posted was the best I got, but even then it’s still just kinda meh. ---
