Throw Revolution X Spinworkx Trick Tutorials #12 - 1 String Whip



Throw Revolution, together with us, will be releasing a set of 20 Trick Tutorials to get players, new or old, honed in for freestyles. This set of tricks to come include various modern elements that is worth a learn to rack up points during contests.

The trick-set for these trick tutorials was thought up by 2011 World Yo-Yo Champion, Marcus Koh, and the elements in these short tricks are still used by Marcus in his contest freestyles.

For the twelfth trick in the Trick Tutorials line-up, we have a cool bind trick that practically every Spinner, entry level or advanced level, must know and be able to perform. This trick is the 1-String Whip.

This trick is easy to explain, not too difficult to do and simply just a must-know kind-of trick. We won't go into explaining how to do the trick as the video does it well. However, we would like to point out that the 1-String Whip works very well when you are whipping the string into the yo-yo, with the yo-yo spinning in the opposite direction. (E.G. Frontstyle throw WITH Sidestyle 1-String Whip)

When learning this trick, take your time to understand the concept of how this trick works and you will be guaranteed to be able to do it 100% of the time.

As always if you have any questions, you can hit us up on Facebook, Instagram, drop us an email, or come down and ask us (or the Throw Revolution team) on how to perfect this (or any other) trick!

Have fun practicing, and keep spinning!

Throw Revolution, together with us, will be releasing a set of 20 Trick Tutorials to get players, new or old, honed in for freestyles. This set of tricks to come include various modern elements that is worth a learn to rack up points during contests.

The trick-set for these trick tutorials was thought up by 2011 World Yo-Yo Champion, Marcus Koh, and the elements in these short tricks are still used by Marcus in his contest freestyles.

For the eleventh trick in the Trick Tutorials line-up, we have a trick that is really cool and something we absolutely love to do! The Finger Spin UFO has been a very popular trick in recent years, and many creative and innovative players have not only done this trick, but added a unique and creative spin on it. However, we are here to teach you the basic Finger Spin UFO.

The idea of this trick is simple in concept, but difficult to execute for a new spinner. However, with time and practice, just like any trick, you'll be able to get it. There are many different things you will need to do before getting into this trick. Firstly, you must be able to do a throw that sets you up for 'Frontstyle' Horizontal tricks. This involves throwing the yo-yo that is practically parallel to the ground.

Once you have got that down, you will need to learn how to do a Finger Spin.

The next thing you'll need to perfect is the single string whip that is normally done to bind the yo-yo.

When you have mastered all these 3 different things, you are ready to put together and attempt the Finger Spin UFO!

When learning this trick, the important thing to note is not to rush! Take your time and perfect each step before progression onto the next step. At first this trick may be tough to hit, but practice, watch and study the trick to understand how the trick is executed.

This trick may be tough and as always if you have any questions, you can hit us up on Facebook, Instagram, drop us an email, or come down and ask us (or the Throw Revolution team) on how to get this down.

Have fun practicing, and keep spinning!

Throw Revolution X Spinworkx Trick Tutorials #10 - Undermount Whip



Throw Revolution, together with us, will be releasing a set of 20 Trick Tutorials to get players, new or old, honed in for freestyles. This set of tricks to come include various modern elements that is worth a learn to rack up points during contests.

The trick-set for these trick tutorials was thought up by 2011 World Yo-Yo Champion, Marcus Koh, and the elements in these short tricks are still used by Marcus in his contest freestyles.

For the tenth trick in the Trick Tutorials line-up, we have a trick that is simple in concept, but a little more difficult to execute. Just like the other tricks before it, the Undermount Whip is a great entry to a long freestyle-esque combo. Performing this whip allows the player to get into this mount quickly and move into his/her combos fast. This trick has been used by Marcus regularly as an entry to his speedy combos. It may be a very subtle maneuver, but getting it right takes practice!

When learning this trick, the important thing to note is to keep your hands slightly closer together when performing the whip so that the string slack stays long. At first this trick may be tough to hit, but watch and study the video in slo-mo to understand how the yo-yo moves as the trick comes around to be whipped in. Once you get the motion of the yo-yo and the string right, the rest should be easy.

If you have any questions, you can hit us up on Facebook, Instagram, drop us an email, or come down and ask us (or the Throw Revolution team) on how to perfect this trick!

Have fun practicing, and keep spinning!

For the ninth trick in the Trick Tutorials line-up, we have a trick that is definitely one that you must learn if you are intending to compete at freestyle contests anytime soon! This trick will add style, pizzazz and points to your freestyle. Modern tricks these days don't really have proper names, so this trick will just be known as the Speed Combo. Again, this is one of the tricks that Marcus has utilized often during his contest performances to score quick points. Watching this trick being performed is really impressive when done smoothly and fast, but it takes lots of practice to perfect.

We shan't go into describing how to pull off this trick step-by-step, you should be able to pick that up through the video. However, just remember that when learning and practicing this trick for the first time, go slow and make sure you know what is happening to each string segment. This trick is a great trick to add on to to lengthen your own combos so we highly recommend you learn this trick!
