This is 100% what I was thinking about doing the trick. Enough that I was thinking about doing it for next week’s TAW, though I think it’s a decent step up in difficulty. ---

Aight some tips are just focus on the two slack catches when the direction changes. One way is pretty forgiving, then you go back to double or nothing and that one I pay a bit more attention to the catch and direction change. When you swing into the don, just try to swing so the slack stays in the gap towards the outside. Then be ready to catch and bounce and change directions. ---

I used to have trouble with this when I was a kid because I didn’t realize you literally just pinch the string to create the first slack of the repeater portion lol ---

Also focus on maintaining a constant speed for fluidity while swinging the yoyo fast enough for the slacks to stay open. ---

I feel like with practice I’ll get there. It’s having my hand ready to catch the slack that’s got me at present. We are packing the house for a move and I am exhausted so I haven’t been able to practice as much as I’d like and the place is a mess. 🤣 ---

i’ve actually been working on yuuki slack on and off for like a month now? there are sooooo many more guides for it now than back in the day. also still trying to get bb26 trick 47 to flow better/more consistently. everyone works at their own pace i guess, haha here are some of my sloppy but okay-ish attempts of yuuki slack. i still need to learn how to exit cleanly. atm i’m just repeating it until i fail, lol [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/f/8/cf843e46f9c2bc1824f6baf82e0dc4d0fa8986ea.jpeg "yuuki slack progress") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNvjPPFs-3s) some tips that helped me: - it really is similar to tricks like boingy boing where having a good rhythm and keeping the yoyo rotating around on a straight axis is important - in order to keep the straight axis, i find trying to move the non-throwhand as subtly as possible, just enough to get the yoyo to rotate. once i get the momentum, it’s easier to keep it moving and to move my hand as little as possible - at first i kind of just stuck my throwhand index finger out and tried to look at where the loop was landing, and then adjusted the finger accordingly. alternate pointing up and down – again, there’s a rhythm to it some tips on bb26 trick 47 that helped me: - i realized that trying to rotate the yoyo in full circles makes plucking wayyyyy harder than it should be. aiming to pause the yoyo at 10 o’clock above the throwhand gives more time to pluck the string out with the non-throwhand - the plucking also should give the yoyo enough extra momentum to continue the rotation even though it hangs for a tiny bit at 10 o’clock - as with all tricks probably, slowing down the movements also gives more time to pluck/do stuff [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/trick-a-week-2024-52-control-workshop/391350.md?page=33) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/trick-a-week-2024-52-control-workshop/391350.md?page=35)
