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.

After a year and a half or so of throwing, I still don’t feel confident at all describing how a throw plays. 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?

Yeah, that’s the one.

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.

The finished product looks amazing. Well done. And that color is right up my alley!
