2 Diabolo Wrap-ups

(1/2) > >>

diabololi:
Hey everyone, I'm having a little trouble with 2 diabolo wrap-ups. I have brand new string and I'm holding my right stick behing my left, but I still have a bit of trouble with wrap-ups, especially after tricks like vortexes and hover stalls. Any tips on this because I have never seen a wrap-up in a performance.

Do wide axle replacements help this?

Thanks
Oli

Wide axles will help, but its down to practice and touch in my opinion.

The whole keeping one hand behind the other is more a tip for learning to deal with learning one diabolo speed ups really, after a while it should be subconcious. however which hand is in front depends on what wrap is on the diabolo as well remember.

For hovers try little rapide tugs, not agressive ones also remeber that exessive speed can lead to wrap-ups (or at least not give you time to do anything about them when you feel things are getting tight).

No wraps in performance? you have never seen me perform. ;)

diabololi:
Ah good, it's not just me then. And the right behind left is subconscious, but I thought I'd better check.

Lol, sometimes you can turn a wrap into a neat trick, as it unwraps I sometimes manage to go straight back into a shuffle without the need to stop and use my hands to get them out of a tangle  :D

diabololi:
same here  :) only works about half the time- used to be less than that before i learnt hover corrections!
