    I've seen people do double and even triple yanks. And some people land them really often, but I never do that. Like I've only done a few. I was wondering if there is any tips on yanks? Or Is it just pure luck?

    There does seem to be a bit of a technique to it, I think @Alex Hirota may have some sort of tutorial up somewhere? He is one of the players known for his yanksistency

    What are the chances of damages to your spike with yanks? Seems highly likely, and for that reason alone, I stay away from them.

    Thats hard for me, given the degree and speed of destruction. I prefer to destroy them a little more naturally.

    Yea, yanks will wreck a dama fast.

    Destroy all damas isn't about needless destruction, it's about actually playing a dama like it's meant to be played. You got the idea I guess haha. To each their own though

    Agreed. Destroy all damas for me does not include throwing the Kendama on the ground, but instead playing it into the ground. @htimSxelA
