  • Fantastic Tutorials Brine, just wish you spoke in them or at least played some quiet background music.

  • @MsSammySimpson Without dialogue they are international, without music you don't have to disturb your own practice tunes, There is madness in my methods...or the other way round, whichever one applies

  • I've realized that you need long flexible fingers/hands for this art, not short stiff fingers like mine. This really sux because I would've fallen in love and been great at this because it's so beautiful and free flowing. Maybe in another life, you guys suck ; )

  • stuff and nonsense, finger length will make no difference. Especially if you learn body/head rolls.

    Flexibility and strength come from regular practice.  Stick with it, really put effort in for a few months at the start and you'll be addicted.

    Good luck

  • thanks for your lesson-very very good.

  • The awesome thing to you even you are not saying anything i learn easily

  • So... um, what if your fingers where... double-jointed...?

  • Thats for the feedback Brine. That does make sense not to talk makes it international - I hadn't thought of that. Keep up the good tutorials - I've ordered my first new balls and hopefully will get them tonight so you'll probably be on my tv for the whole weekend while I'm learning!! Can't wait. Thanks heaps.

  • eureka! I'm been dropping my practice orange (getting a proper ball tomorrow :p) all over the pan... because I was keeping my hand still. I did my first successful (though not terribly pretty) butterfly thanks to you! <3

  • I'm learning now and this has been very helpful. Thank you

  • I spent a whole day at school just tossing the ball up and catching it in the cradle. xP I kept getting asked why I had random balls in my bag. xD

  • youtube is so stupid! why is this vid going slow mode on here??? when i watch it from a different site it's normal speed...
