Week 47 - Hajime Miura Triangle Trick
This week we’re doing a triangle element by Hajime Miura from a Junyi Lin tutorial. I love his tutorials, and I think this one is about right for the tougher side of TAW.
I found the most difficult part to be the element at 22 and 42 seconds. If you keep your hands close together and rotate the yoyo around aiming towards the string coming off your TH thumb, you should be able to get it.
It’s not the easiest motion to explain (so also if anyone has a better explanation, please help!), but I think of it like… when the yoyo gets to the apex, you want to move your TH to generate a little bit of slack that lets the strings pass under the yo-yo.
Below is a video with few angles of slow mo if it’s helpful.

Not all great, but figured more was better.
