    Ok, i learned how to do it. It took me 3 month every day training for few minutes. Crazy! And i need to really focus on the ball to keep it, sometimes i still spin around my body. I spin it counter clockwise, cant do it clockwise - its like starting from beginning, damn it! Tips: I started from catching on my fingertip, but ball doesn't spin for too long, so you need to spin on top of your nail, it may hurt a nail at first, but then you will get use to it. And you need a really fast and steady ball spin, need to train your wrist to do it, just try as fast as you can, and day after day, muscles will get stronger.

      is it wobbling as its spinning or does it spin nice and fast? if it's wobbling you probably have to have it spin faster before you'll be able to slap it well--if it's not then keep practicing and focus on slapping it gently.

    @hellothere1947 Před 2 lety +8

    I finally figured out the break through I needed. First off let me explain what I do. I spin it like the video and support my pointer with my thumb and I got really good at spinning it, I’d average 3 seconds each go. But the thing I realized is the spin is the most important part. Once you have the balance down you need to slap the ball to keep it spinning. balance only goes a long way, the real thing keeping it there is the spin. Remember that

    • @CoachNick
      @CoachNick  Před 4 lety +3

      ya thats normal and it means ur doing it right. my guess is the ball isn't spinning as fast as it should, and ur off hand isn't used to "tapping" it to get it to spin. (hard to say w/o seeing a video of u doing it--if u post one on ur utube channel ill watch it)
      so my final answer is: more practice and it'll eventually "click" : ) : )

      Oh man. Video ia brilliant. You mentiom another detailed video about spinning, which I cannot find, but you give link to video where other people cant spin. Seriously that aint the way forward. You shouldve placed links for the other video all over the place to multiply your views

    Hey coach I've got a question
    I spin the ball anti-clockwise, the opposite way from how u teach in this video
    For me, it's easier to place my finger on the ball because it's easier to spin it horizontally.
    I am most comfortable and confident spinning it that way but is it normal ?
    I haven't seen anyone on the internet teaching how to spin theball that way
