No, not always. But almost always.
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
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.”
I found the best thing with this is to pull the yoyo up as opposed to bouncing it up… I found bouncing it up meant the string would often fall off my thumb!
Thank you! Great tip. I’ll be working on that.
The CLYW tut on it is the best one, look that up.
I use my thumb and middle finger to spread the string enough to get enough slack before the pull up! I can make a quick slow-mo video for you if you’d like!
edit: it should help putting your NTH behind your back when practicing this trick - helps the motion feel a lot more fluid
@Damb If they are like guaranteed to bind correctly ya I do them often
And @Damb i almost always get phat regens cause I throws them bois hard asf so they get a dank spin
When I entered this into Google Translate, and used German as a translation reflector, this is what I got:
“I almost always get Phat Regens because I throw them so hard that they get a wet spin”
I’d say Google did pretty well with that.
Hell ya I always have wet spin!
Don’t throw hard if you’re practicing regens… That’s not going to end well.
wait, why?
It’s an excellent way to catch a yoyo to the face. Don’t get too cocky with regens
You really want to be throwing regens at like half power. If you’re throwing really hard you’re more likely to get a snag.
Dank does mean moist.
Well if it’s a newly discovered regen I throw softly but if I know I’m in a good spot I send it. But ya I’ve been close to a couple of bruises throwing regens so I know what ya mean
Yo I got this one on accident you throw the string like a hook but your catch finger should be pointed down and in like an actual “hook” bend.
I’m working on hidemasa hook
I Already Can do a Laceration . It’s very fun when you land a new trick! It’s like another door to yoyo mastery opens
