Today I’m working on a trick called “Dr. Strange” I saw the tutorial on youtube by Andre and it looked like a fairly simple fun trick and I gotta say it might not be super hard but it is fun. :smiley:

Aside from just having fun with my general “trick bucket”, I’m working on getting classic Yuuki concepts down consistent. Right now, I’ve got it at about 50%

Ballistic and this crazy wrist mount combo by Shinnosuke Miyamoto as taught by mrmatio.

One-handed laceration style bind training prepared me for pocketing the normal lacerations, I love them both now!

Working on a tension hook. Ive stuck it a few times but me thinks a longer string would help a lot.

I’ve learned Charles’ instant double GT and I found a way to dismount where I can get a phat regent from so I’m working on that

Lacerations into suicides :pray:

@HotcakesTheMemeGod do you do regens often? I can do them but mine are always so weak

They just take practice to get powerful and clean.

so you always hit a fatty regen? not like 2 mediocre ones in a row to get enough spin?

No, not always. But almost always. :wink:

I like to work on a few at a time. Trying to figure out how to consistently land on the string I want instead of both strings after a Magic Drop. Also Kamikaze and Seasick. If I grind on the same trick over and over for a couple hours I feel like it’s less productive than taking a handful at a time, getting the concept, and having several things to work on without getting ill at the same trick.

So I looked at a tutorial for GT Laceration (Brent Stole)… I can do a Hidemasa Hook… however this one leaves me so so confused :frowning:

Front style plastic whip. Even after watching tutorials over and over I can not keep the string positioned over my throw hand thumb while creating the slack to catch the yoyo. I know one day it’ll just click and it’ll work and I’ll be like, “oh, this is pretty simple.”
