Hooks above 1.5 and eli hop combos where you do them behind back, with zoning and other positions. ---

I just started working on Spirit Bomb Saturday and I’ve put some good time into it. It’s definitely the toughest trick I came across so far. I think I’m finally getting the first hop down after watching a video with a tip about making the triangle smaller and the string above longer for the first hop. I know the second hop is gonna be another rough one. All the knots involved with this trick has been also slowing down learning this trick. Ha Magic Drop/Shockwave I got the rejection part really fast but landing it on the correct string is another story. The only way I can consistently is if I spread out the trapeze really wide. Oh and Boingy Boing took 4 or so months of messing with. ---

Horizontal hops. I can’t make them look good. Why does Richard’s nickname get censored here? ---

It was the realization that one minor tip improved my success from \<50% to \>90% where months of practice did not yield any real improvement. (In this case, I was one of the people mentioned at ~3:00 who was having issues due to popping the yoyo too high) https://www.youtube.com/embed/Prj7w1t9wxQ?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PLz_zolTGELmlgHSTUyZZd5mHszQbgYQQ-&start=180 ---

That’s interesting. I just tried popping it up barely at all and had a good % land rate. Most wisdom seems to say pop it up decently, wonder why that makes such a difference. Thanks! ---

BOOM! 1.5 Hook! aka my old whitest whale Here’s how I did it—got new strings (markmont Dragons)…fastest whipping string of any string I had tried before immediately noticed how quick they were whipping and thought, “huh maybe today’s the day”…and it was!!! I’ve since gotten it a bunch of times so I know it wasn’t a fluke or one off. Now I have the feel of it and I’m excited to try it with some of the strings i was using before but I gotta crush some work first. Hopefully y’all are making some progress with those white whales! Still gotta figure out that tsukasa namba #4 slack… ---

Came here to add [Polo Garbmakol’s rejection slack combo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkcsdz50DaY), the one that was TaW last year. Also shoutout to [Josh Yee’s L.S.D. Triangle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBEVJOyl2B0), not a white whale yet bc I just started it this week but it’s like three movements that I totally understand and it looks simple but I haven’t been able to land it yet. @Shapapy I just learned Rancid Milk 🤮 this week. I don’t have the fluidity I want yet, but I can land it slow or fast but with pauses to let my brain catch up often. I don’t know if you got that yet or not…if you did, nice! If you didn’t yet, here’s what helped me—I had 3 tutorials for it up at the same time to learn the moves. Cabin tutorial—amazing bc Chuck makes it look so freaking good but no explanation makes it kind of easy to miss the subtle moves. The yotricks one—over complicates the trick and makes it confusing; there is one step especially that is explained poorly but I like how Connor kept emphasizing the smoothness needed for this to look right. The [G2 tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CorBIHY4ObM)—just a good tutorial with the right amount of explanation to me. The G2 one helped me the most but it took me seeing all three to figure out the moves and start putting it together. ---

> [@GTDropKnot](#): > > it took me seeing all three to figure out the moves and start putting it together. This is always the case for me. Working on Bee Stings this past week, I had to watch like 3-4 different tutorials before it clicked in my head. Like, each one has a different tip that kinda helped me get there. Rancid Milk just has so many steps! I’ll keep (slowly) working my way through it. Thanks for the tips! [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-is-your-moby-d-ck-trick/372323.md?page=1)
