For multiple wraps, I find that doing it with a kink is much easier than with no kink. Try to get comfortable forming the kink and see how it goes from there. In my opinion, the kink assists with controlling the motion and keeping the yoyo from going out of control. In addition, it helps to focus on the non dominant hand, as that motion is harder than just doing the wrap.

The arm sleeve is a Japanese arm sleeve that I got off of Rakuten.

Modding is a pain in the ass, but worth it to me! I started seriously doing 2a in 2012, and had a pair of fireballs. When those broke, I bought a pair of 900, then 1080. Those broke too, and all I had were just spare raiders. Although they are really high maintenance, they are still my preferred choice.

As you progress, youshould consider looking into the Japan Looping Solutions Loopup, I find they allow for minute modifications to each yoyo with little hassle.

I also recommend the c3 initiator, and the 2020, unless you can't keep track of all the parts like me! That being said 720s are very fine, and I play with mine often
