Welcome to the world or regeneration. I well recall the time when I thought it was far, far out of reach.
I can't belive I was there a couple of weeks ago
Then for a long time I could keep the top going, but never get enough speed to do anything else with the top.
Some unsolicited advice:
Be careful about racking up the hours. (Ask my shoulder a year later)
Work on keeping a good posture during regens. It looks better and is better for your back
Some of your RC are very upright which is good form. I like to be able to tell the difference between a sewing machine and an RC. Well done.
Don't think about catching the top with the string. Just lay the string over or around that top as is comes up to you.
By the way a bearing top is great to learn with. If you listen well you can hear the bearing stop, then reverse. Then you know that you would be adding spin if you had a fixed tip.
Good call about the posture! And I'll make sure to not play too much
=) The palm of my right hand would be happy if I stop playing for a couple of days but that won't happen.
I have trouble by just laying the string and letting the do the job... I'm not fast enough yet... It will come, I'll keep trying harder!
The only bearing top I have is the QSH and to be fair, with the new brass tip & the heavy weight I have trouble doing the lasso catch on the RC ... I'll continue working on this too!
Good progress!
The lassos look good. I think you need to work on the pull. It has to come all from the right hand so the string feeds through the tip. I have the impression that you are also pulling up with your left hand. Something you can do to increase the regeneration power is to lower your right hand before the pull.
There is also some regen on the catch. For that it's important to let the top slide down while feeding the string from the left hand at the correct speed, not too fast not too slow.
You are well on your way to be able to keep the top going and going
Thanks a lot Ta0!!! I know that I do pull with the wrong had a bit. that probably explain why the spin die on me!
More progess log : Yesterday I had fund with wirewalkers to lasso to rc to string... I can't belive I can do that almost effortlessly
I was doing a 3 wrap corkscrew to RC to string but I was only able to do 2 - 3 rep before the spin would die completely... ( probably due to the fact that I had only a tiny bit of string to work with
Anyway
So long and thanks for the reassurance that I'm doing what I should be doing!!!
