damn... Elephark! Im really feeling the concept of binding/regenerating the yoyo while the counter weight is in motion like that.  |

@mark you should play! i bet you'd have some real sweet stuff. as far as wraps go, i've had (External Embedding Disabled) a (External Embedding Disabled) few (External Embedding Disabled), but i don't know if they're really what you're looking for. also, i don't know how to make those external embed tags go away, but i think they're kind of funny so i'm not gonna mess with them. also, elliot's countermetre is a classic example of 31st century wrapnology, and everybody should watch it all the time.
jonrob's e-fan is super solid, as is to be expected... but like you said, it's got a lot more variation than the average combo. a worthy example for all looking to step their game up...
i think the most depressing kind of e-fan is the "pinwheel the cw the same direction for 30 seconds while doing a right-handed 1A combo." variety. obviously, e-fan's been around long enough for people to develop some useful elements, so it's a bit over-the-top to want to destroy it entirely, but if you don't even have a direction change... well. you know.
i've said it before, but i love the new stuff, 'phark. incorporating moves into the throw gives the trick such a weird (and awesome!) rhythm. would love to see more...

cw wrap transition to a miggy trick. the interesting part about this for me is moving the yo-yo from the outside to the inside when going from the pinwheels to the wrap.

1A->5A Everyday
|
 I have not liked my G5 since I got it until I started using it for DD play today. After seeing that interview with Iskandar Shah I knew that I wanted some sort of DD setup to practice on. After I get some DD combos made I might try to post a video or something. These amazing videos being posted keep reminding me that I need to throw 5a more often. |

I'm trying to focus on 3A, but 5A keeps distracting me. |

to me, 5A feels just perfect, it feels right, like "natural yoyoing"
for now I just can't stand 1A anymore
3A and 2A, never felt like trying
4A, I'll probably try but I already know I'm not putting the string on my finger so it's gonna be "9A" ?

I don't wanna make a new thread for this, so I figured out I better post it here. I have massiv problems keeping my string tension right during 5a. I've been yoyoing for almost 2,5 years and in 1a its not a problem, but everytime I play 5a my string gets way too loose. Even when I'm not doing so many e-fans or stuff like that it still gets messed up to fast. How can I prevent this? Oh, and the counterweight smashes often against the back of the hand (which is rather painfull), am I the only one that has that (often)?

been EXACTLY there a month or so ago about the CW hitting the back of the hand, get hard CWs so you're forced to catch them right, I actually solved this issue when the yoyo hit my back hand VERY hard and it did hurt quite alot for several days (maybe bruised), so I switched to a hard dice to force me to catch the thing right, worked out fine. this is the only way I know, there must be others. about the tension, I had the same issue as well, the string kept getting loose (as opposed to 1A) for some reason, no matter if I was doing efans (one way or another) or any other tricks. I don't have this problem anymore now and I think I got it down. maybe try to hold your string less tight, let the string freely travel between your fingers, within your hands. I noticed I was really tense when playing, specially during efan practices, and now I'm more comfortable and relaxed and I just let the string slide rather than holding it, and I believe that solved my string tension issues. for the CW pain issue, you can also try and convince my wife to start selling these   |

You guys must have low pain thresholds on your hands. yeah it hurts when a dice hits your hand. But for what like 45 seconds? Unless those woolen CWs have something heavy in the middle, i can' see how they would have enough weight for anything.

After I get some DD combos made I might try to post a video or something. These amazing videos being posted keep reminding me that I need to throw 5a more often. what are the size/weight on your DD set ups ? I'm asking because I ordered a set of nice dices online, but they're rather small and fairly light, and since I barely can do anything in DD, I don't know how "right" or "wrong" my setup is also here's a "tip" for DD, the sliding dice should be heavier than the end dice, got the tip from the master himself (well I tried at home then asked for confirmation) if anyone feels like doing DD tutorials, I'll be happy, the most I can do is the DD trapeze with the middle dice in the trapeze loop. Simon -> there's a "secret" to these wool CWs, they're actually a tad bit heavier than duncan CWs - if my wife agrees to make them available, we'll reveal the "secret" you can maybe figure it out from the pictures directly |

actually, different people do have different sensibility to pain, some feel it more than others, you must be amongst the lucky ones. |
