    Yeah, the mini gen isn't easy to learn.

    One thing I found is that the length of string and the positioning of your right hang holding the string is REALLY important.

    If you hold the string too close to the left stick it makes it a lot harder to release the diabolo. Try holding the string closer to the right stick (the one that's been let go).

    Ideally you want to release the diabolo with less "free" string.

    Does this make sense?

    Hi:

    Thanks for the quick response!!!

    The way I understand your comment is to swing the diabolo and hold the right stick(that is being let go) closer to the axle when being thrown.

    If this is wrong, then please let me know, otherwise, I will try your tips and keep on practicing!

    Thanks again!!!

  • @movieman12341 No, sorry. Start again. Mini gen instructions:

    1. Get the diabolo on the underside of the string (reverse catch etc.)

    2. Swing the diabolo to your right.

    3. Let go of the right stick.

    4. When you let go of the right stick, you need to immediately grab onto the right STRING with your right hand. This is what I was referring to - you should experiment grabbing the right string at different lengths.

  • Hee hee, my boyfriend is Tom, creator of the Tomicide XD

  • @SteampunkRaven Nice. Has he seen this tut?

  • @richardclement OK thanks that helps a lot! Also, what type of diabolo do you use

  • @FixedDrumsGuitar I'm using Henry's Circus in this video but I reckon the Tiabolos are the best going around at the moment

see all

    Hi:

    I now understand what you stated above.

    Thanks again!!!

  • Hi:

    I love your tutorial. Now, I have almost mastered this in just a few hours thanks to your awesome tutorial.

    However, I really want to learn the Mini-Genocide exit and have a question:

    How do you time the release because if I let go of the string to early, the diabolo gets no height. On the other hand, if I release late, the diabolo never comes off the string.

    How do I do it right?

    Thanks so much!!!

  • do u think you could make an excaliber/vertex tutorial as when i spin, i spin the wrong way?
