Week 46 — Meta Quick Slack
Saw @theendofcake use this in a trick circle video and thought it would be a fun one for folks to learn since it can slot in really nicely to a lot of combos (for example… you can do the Mir Kim trick from week 30 coming out of this).
Biggest tips I have are about that first move to get into the keychain. I was struggling with it a bunch, but after watching it in slow motion a few times, here are some notes and tips to get it smooth:
- The string setup for the whip is for it to go around your thumb then index finger.
- Your goal hopping it up is really to get the string under the yoyo. You’re using the right amount of force if it winds up basically horizontal on your throw hand side.
- When you whip the string over, focus on aiming your finger at the string coming off of the yoyo just to the throw hand side. See the screenshot.
For the tension hook part, really focus on pulling your throw hand down and away when you do it. You need a lot of tension/force.
Good luck!
