At Marines, in about two weeks, I want Maurizio to put an OWB into one of my Strummol8 tops.
I am curios what it will do for me.
As I read, and of course that makes sense to me, wirewalkers and elevators and such won't work with the one way bearing.
But since I am left handed I was thinking that probably Maurizio has to install something the other way around so that it would work for me.
And then I thought a bit more and now I suspect that there might be a possibility to do a wirewalker with an OWB after all: Set the bearing up for regular right handed play, but then spin the top the other way by throwing it with the left hand (edit: or instead just wind the string the other direction and still throw with the right hand, it can be done). Should it not be possible to do a wirewalker now? I lose the possibility to regenerate, but only until I spin it the other direction the next time.
So what do you experts think?
I think
- I am either overlooking something quite obvious why that can't work and I will feel stupid once you tell me, or
- that is common knowledge and you will point me to about three videos here in the forum that show just what I described here
