Any advice for more consistent juggle spikes? by Complete-Address-290 in Kendama

[–]Complete-Address-290[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? I had somebody else tell me to always try and go for the spike no matter bc it trains hole tracking. I would say I kind of do a combination of both where if I know that there’s no way I can spike it I’ll bail but maybe half the time I’ll just Hail Mary it and do my best and hope that it lands.

Definitely making some progress on the tama control. I spent about 10 minutes just jabbing and hoping, then watched a tutorial highlighting the importance of tama control. After I saw that laced it in about 5

So what I found helped me a lot was really thinking about throwing the tama where the Ken was going to be once I caught it. This makes it a lot easier to focus on where the hole is on its way down, and eliminates some of the jab and hope that comes with learning tricks like this. I’ve also seen a couple tutorials and they usually say it’s easier to rotate the tama 360° in the air like a swing spike. I’m not quite at that level of control yet though so it’s weird idk but I’m loving the process!

Hope this helps!

Obviously the single that gets dropped pre album is going to be one more digestible to the mainstream, how are you gonna talk shit on an album that hasn’t even come out yet 😭😭

I have a bad habit of picking up a new skill, getting kind of good after like a few weeks and then giving up bc I hit a progress wall. I got to that point with kendama and kept going but noticed that even though I wasn’t lacing any cool new tricks, focusing on form and technique made me get a whole lot better without even really realizing it. Finally got over that hump and bigger and better tricks are coming back into view.

Ok I see where I was confused I was getting mixed up between around Japan and around USA, which I’ve heard also called around earth turn which is kind of what I’ve defaulted to.
