Hey hey,

I don't exactly know the name of this one but I've seen it done by greg M on a video already (and boy, does it look cool !). So yeah. It's the one when you do the palm to palm transfer continuously as a sort of circle but not with 1 but 2 balls ( ).

I have the one with 1 ball pretty smoothly already and would like to get it with two. I try but the balls just go and bang on one another and then go crazy all over the place or just look crap.

I know that nothing goes without practice but maybe someone here has any tip in his/her bag to smooth the process ?

Anything will be welcome !
Thanks,
Sarge

I'm afraid there is no advice to learning this other than practice.

I get what I deserve from beeing a lazy ass...
It's just that I can't get them separate and smooth at-all.
I bet I'll have to practice my patience at the same time .

Yeh Khan I've never been a patient guy and it seems I never will .

But I noticed something : I'm more patient on some tricks than on other.
Seems like I can palmspin for ages without stopping (Reading, watching movie, walking, working...). But I have a shoooooort patience for Aladin Roll practice for example.

AS far as the present topic trick is concerned, I "delayed it" in a way, cause I can't practice more than a few minutes without feeling like bashing the whole goddamn place... Anyway, I'll get it sooner or later

Can you give the video or find it in the moves section cause I have NOOO idea what your talking about but it sounds interesting.

I couldn't find it in the moves section but if you go on
www.gregmaldonado.com
In the "see greg" section, watch the video "greg @ the capital" its the last move he is doing before stoping (or before the stoping move)...
Sorry if it isn't so clear, anyway the move surely is really cool.

They way Greg does it in that video....he is barely doing any rolling between palms. He is basically just throwing it.

I think I'd be inclined to do a bit more of a roll in there.

If you work with acrylics, you can make the upper ball roll "on" the second, for a start. After a while, you'll find how to throw it over the lower ball with your fingers.

other way :(with acrylics ball or not) : start one ball in each handhold more in the fingers than in the palm, with the wrists together. throw one of the ball over the other for the second hand. Before it comes to the second hand, let the other ball roll for a palm-to-palm transfert. Try to really feel that the ball rolls in the hands, and keep your writs together.

then time ...
