I have this sinking feeling that I am falling behind of the state-of-the-art spinning . . . But one should persevere! 

You are definitely not falling behind...when comes to learning new tricks from videos on the board you are probably the fastest and most pasionate player!

We had a great time! We did few mini-contests at Czech nationals and shared some tricks. Always great to hang out with top spinners from France.

that's a very nice trick indeed  , definitely gonna learn this one

Actually it is harder than it looks to keep the top on string  But I've been doing it with fixed tip so maybe bearing tip or different tip shape helps. Anyway give us know about your progress guys

Today it's Daniels video of Cast Whip inspirated by offstring yoyo trick.

BTW: Daniel is a junior world record holder for offstring whips (104 in a row).

The difference between the regular whip and the cast whip seems very subtle. Perhaps it is more obvious with a yo-yo.
On the video the top body goes through the loop: is that necessary for it to be a cast whip?
 
Well done!

Jorge: Maybe it is hard to see it on a video, but there is a noticeable difference. In normal whip, you catch the top into a loop, but in cast whip you let the top fall into the loop from above.

My execution on the video is not one of the best, but it is pretty hard to catch it . I caught it a bit late. In best scenario, the top catches the string when the loop is in horizontal position, that's all. It goes through the loop on the video because I caught it a bit late.

[ta0]

After reading your description, Daniel, I am thinking that when I do the underhand whip with the full string, the way I catch the top is similar to a "cast" catch.
On the other hand, if I do it with a short loop, it would be a regular whip (string hits the tip, not vice versa). I can see that doing the cast overhand is more difficult.
