    Hey guys,

    Very new here, been doing Kendama since January, and making good progress I think, I've come a bit stuck with kinda string awareness in certain flip tricks though.

    After sweets/grain theory dropped their latest cloud bounce tutorial, a pre-trick being 1.5 flip trade spike, I started trying to learn that today. The flip i'm pretty consistent with as I do airplane and J stick x1-2 fairly consistently, tama throw needs a lot of work, but half the time when I see I've thrown the tama well, I grab the ken and the string is tangled everywhere.

    Any tips for this?

    Thanks All!

    Hi ! I worked this trick a lot during the last days. I found that making a faster rotation of the Ken helped me a lot about this f****ing string. I can't explain why, but that helped for me...
