I was doing vertax when the string snapped and the diabolo hit to my face.
s, you are not alone. I constantly deal with wrist overuse issues when diaboloing and/or typing. Take it easy for a while. Gradually increase your practicing. Think about what types of diaboloing (vertax for example) give you the most problems and be especially careful about overdoing those. Try some other gear if you can. Some diabolos and sticks give me problems. Others are fine. For me, any of the carbon fiber or fiberglass sticks give me problems, as do full weight fly or sun diabolos. Finesses give me a bit of a problem, circuses are fine - especially with plastic hubs and washers. Taibolos with lighter weight washers are the easiest on my wrists. The new light weight Suns aren't too hard on my wrists. I find generally that the lighter the diabolos and the heavier the sticks the better my wrists feel. So, I usually use aluminum sticks and light diabolos.Most of all, stop for now and recover. If you keep aggravating it, it will become chronic... and that's no fun. It's a combination thing, right? So, basically the amount of micro-damage you are causing to the connective tissue isn't getting enough time to recover between damage sessions. For you - all the activities you mentioned together have become too much for whatever reason.
This was all when I used a chinese yoyo, which has nice little holes in the side for fitting fingernails into...
STICKS HURT TOO!!!!
make a big knot to connect 2 snapped strings to be able to diabolo...
Ok...I'm just gonna list my injuries in a list for easy reading, then explain them in graphic detail just for good measure . But before that:I have two light taibolos which I lovingly named "Typhoon" and "Whirlwind". How do they repay me? By hitting me EVERYWHERE whenever they get the chance:-shins-groin-face-torso-arms[Edit:]-wrist pain/problems -arthritis and the like-neck-face again-burns from string or very, VERY hot axels-cuts-excessive choking-things bending the wrong way-injuries induced on OTHER people-mental/pride injuriesWhich is basically all that we've covered in this thread. But still, Y injuries were...pretty unique >.>Yes...when I was teaching a chinese yo-yo class, I tried to stop the yo-yo's "cup" like I would a diabolo cup. So, you know...little square whistle holes...deeply sliced off ring finger skin...what was stupid and funny, though, was that with my knowledge that blood clots I tried to [GRAPHIC] glue/put the skin back on [END GRAPHIC]. You can tell because the fingerprints are crooked XD. So yes, n3mo, I partially understand your pain.Ah yes...suiciding and having the heavy sticks explode on your hands isn't enough. My wooden ones split in half during school, and some idiot ran off with it as a joke. I chase him down, saying "it's dangerous! NOOO!!!!", grabs for the bag with the concealed deathtraps and next thing I know I'm screaming in pain with my palm slashed. He stopped, of course, and it taught him a lesson on being an annoying jerk, but it still doesn't help...in fact, I think there might still be splinters in my hand.Last but not least, the act of stupidity that causes friction and pain faster and more efficient than a 5 cm diameter MB string. Funny enough, I had to play chinese yo-yo with a knot like that. I managed ok though.We should have a top 10 pain/injury of diabolo. My favourite one is the kneecap. Poor Magnificent Godly Busk.
Poeple really get that much problems with wristpains?...
i dont see how injury is possible from diabolos other than being hit when you do a trick....
