Talin wasn't sure of this trick's name:

(<--Instavid)
I was going to say it's a Turnover (See "Spike!"), but then I realised he's doing a variation. His is:
Turn, Release (throw, if you like), Catch
as opposed to the 'standard'
Release (throw), Catch & Turn (in one move).

So... "Talin Turnover"?

Really nice trick, surely you can go into loads of variants from there. Thinking it would be amazing with a cheeky JS at the top.

I suppose it's a "part curl"? Not really sure, as I can't see if you're doing a grip change or not.

Was trying to look through this thread and couldnt find it. What is the official name of the trick where you hold the tama-> airplane but instead of spiking it you land the ken on top of the hole balancing it? Someone called it a "bellyflop" but I know there's a different name for it.

Hey, @Cliffdama , pretty damn neat trick!
Quote from: Kev on 01 October, 2015, 09:22:53Great trick!

Personally I'd call it Aeroplane > Gear Change > 3 Turn Reverse Aeroplane.

#AeroGearChangeTripReverseAero
Wouldn't it be Reverse Gear, @Kev? :)

Well, Snapback was suggested for the immediate-pull-back-to-spike trick, but it seems that has become known as Yank[nb]Because polysyllabics bad?![/nb]. That trick involved tugging on the string to reverse the direction of the ball, so I think your trick would be...

1-Turn Yank Reverse 3-Turn Aeroplane

It's debatable whether "Reverse" is needed in there, but I suppose it should be. Theoretically, you could Yank to re-spin in the same direction, right? (I'm pretty sure someone[nb]@Dimensions ?[/nb] has done something like that...)

Nice work.

Ha! Could be. Thing is, all the kendamas I own only have 2 gears - forwards and backwards so Gear Change = Direction change for me  ;)


On a serious note, I think trick names should:

1) Give total clarity of what the trick actually is.
2) In as few words as possible.
3) Sound good.

The Void

Ideally, yes. I don't think 1 & 2 are often mutually compatible though! :)

Kev

Absolutely. And 3) is a matter of opinion!

You mean something like
1-Turn Yank 1-Turn Yank 2-Turn Aeroplane
...?
That'd be neat!
