I haven’t thrown much this week but finally found a bit of down time and my Muse was calling to me. ![20200823_184915](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/f/c/ffca32ef6438184551d09e92992e1fe33f26ae38.jpeg) ---

Those spikes… That one is high on my want list. Along with the other 2 CC releases I missed. ---

It’s a great casual throw and I’m sure can be found for pretty cheap on the BST. I think they were around $50 or so new. Circle City is my 2nd favorite company. ---

No doubt! I have sandpaper hands but every now and then I’ll grab those spikes a little too tight and get a good shock forgetting just how sharp they are. ---

However, I can say that this Quake has the crispiest binds I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been adding the Guy Wright bind and a slap bind to my arsenal lately and it’s just a pleasure to pull them off with this. ---

I’ve been throwing my red Premiere trying to learn the “Hiroyuki Suzuki Bind”, but I can’t seem to get the feel of this bind. I know that it is supposed to be the same motion as a simple forward flip, but I don’t do forward flips while in the reverse spin mount position, and so that motion feels really unnatural. ---

You mean the bind where you get into an under mount and throw the yoyo into the air and it binds down? ---

Thanks for the video, Katie! I do understand the idea behind it. It’s just that the swinging motion towards the inside of the throwing arm feels really unnatural. If I swing it with too much force, it binds before it gets very high and I end up with a massive string tail. If I swing it with too little force, gravity brings it back down before it binds. The sweet spot, where it is _just right_, is not something I have a feel for yet. It seems to me that, like a lot of yoyo tricks, it is all about internalizing _the feel of it_ (the weight, the motion, the exact timing, etc.). Just like the basic undermount backspin bind. That bind took me a long time to master, so this one will probably take me a long time too. ---
