likewise. but hey if we can learn even a fraction of it, that will be awesome. EDIT: Here’s my work-in-progress transcription for first part of The Angel combo. It’s pretty similar to the explanation in the tutorial, but with some alterations so I don’t get as confused. Sharing here for anyone else who has a similar learning style to me: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/2/6/52677390367b33aad151578187f39cb0cfb3ae89.jpeg) ---

I noticed that he feeds more string from the slack to the yoyo for the trapeze ( after the clockwise moves around the TH). Its not verbalized, but i see him do it in the breakdown. Edit- its definitely in there. Looks like as the yoyo and slack circle around, some extra string is fed out of the slack - that way theres enough string for the trapeze ---

Also made it till the inverted GT 🙃. But not in Godspeed more like GrandmaSpeed :joy:. Does anybody use nylon. I would guess that helps also. ---

you need to make sure there is a twist on your throw hand index finger when rolling over your throw hand. i had to pause the video on the overhead view and make sure i had everything right before the roll ---

Mike you are rolling over the hand incorrectly most probably, I learnt it yesterday because I was curious about the slack part with the hand crossed, I had a go at the whole combo, one of the secret for this combo is always have the bit of string “stuck” in your pinkie inside your hand, if you check the video he has always that bit stuck there, this help to go through the whole combo. About the triangle part when you roll over your TH be careful that you “fake” the knot, the string basically roll and go out of your finger. Throw the yoyo clockwise “inside” (so being closer to your chest) and then you can see that the finger does a sort of a hook that resolve itself, that’s the secret for the gt ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/c/e/3ce1394e0765c12065d09d8d8b04c8936ef80793.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/5/e/c5e4690c17adb4fc2ce9c66ff1ed58f4155b0b89.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/6/a/86a8fd2d94751e7b9e1860f04465f255e6d3b1bd.png) ---
