...This is the most important basic training exercise to warm up any high session and calibrate your throws: Start from a normal stance and body position, diabolo spinning on the string, and throw it in a controlled circle at a low height, just above the chest. Catch the diabolo, moving your feet, upper body, and arms as little as possible. Throw again. Repeat the throws perfectly for perhaps 10 times in a row and then move to progressively higher heights (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 diabolo siteswap height)...
I want to try to add a little bit to the talk about high patterns with a few tips about being in harmony with your environment, and correcting misaligned diabolos.
Once I get the time, I want to try to add a little bit to the talk about high patterns with a few tips about being in harmony with your environment, and correcting misaligned diabolos.
Not sure what you're getting at? You have problems starting a high pattern?What exactly is going wrong?
Yeh im having problems starting it (i start from 3 low), every so often i start clean and get a run of about 20 catches, but usually all diabolos go to far to my left, then i have to quickly run to the side to catch them again.
Alright.. But just one question..What do you Arjan think is a better thing to do? Invest all my time in practicing the trapeze start. Or forget about it and learn to trow 2 diabolo's up perfect?
Hi Zwiggelbig,Although I am not Arjan I really suggest learning throwing 2 diabolos up perfect for these reasons:-its a quicker start, you dont have to accelerate 2 diabolos first which takes more time-it helps if you ever want to learn 4 diabolos-the diabolos spin slower so its easier to collect them all from the high patternIm not sure what the advantages are of trapeze start, I never quite took the time to learn it because it seemed to have disadvantages for me.
