Hello!  
I have been trying to do finger spins on an XLR8. I’ve done finger spins on a strix before, but when I try to hop it up onto my finger on an XLR8, it doesn’t usually work. I believe it is because I am landing outside of the dimple. Any help on how to be more accurate when landing or anything help is appreciated. Thank you

I dont think you can do fingerspins with an xlr8… You can try landing on the dimple to see if that works but I dont think it’s capable of fingerspins

The dimple is capable of finger spins, but they are very difficult.

make sure the yoyo is completely horizontal before you hop it on your finger, worked for me o the quest and theory
