and its a good tut i did understand it :)

Post by: Richard on December 29, 2009, 01:36:46 AM: I know how to do these fans already but find the written descriptions very confusing.

I'd recommend more time spent on the videos and less on the writing.

I like the videos though - good angles :)

Post by: Ben. on December 29, 2009, 12:07:56 PM: Anti clockwise = AC

Post by: Jammy7797 on February 22, 2010, 04:16:31 PM: I'm having a real problem with these :-|
Almost immediately as i begin the fan the diabolo's go wobbly and tilt until they completely get in a tangle and slow up completely :'(

How can i fix this?

Post by: Hathaway on February 22, 2010, 06:24:59 PM: Sounds like 2 problems, your technique isn't quite there yet, and also that your diabolos don't seem to be spinning fast enough.

I thought a C fan has always been a clockwise fan and AC has always been anti clockwise.

Title: Re: 2 diabolo ac-fan tutorial
Post by: Richard on February 24, 2010, 07:36:41 AM: I think that the S fan supposedly looks like an S shape from the side
Title: Re: 2 diabolo ac-fan tutorial
Post by: Mr.D on February 24, 2010, 01:18:29 PM: S-fan = the string goes like an 'S' around the diabolos

C-fan = the string goes like a 'C' around the diabolos, clockvise
AC-fan = the string goes like a 'C' around the diabolos, anti-clockvise

:)

Post by: Icebox on February 24, 2010, 07:57:07 PM: ^Is the clockwise/anticlockwise from the performer's or observer's view?

Your string is probably rubbing viciously on one side of the cup during the entry, which causes the diabolo to tilt. More speed to the diabolo will help slightly, but the best is to figure out why (and where) the diabolo tilts and work to fix that problem. :)
