On the basic spin…when u grab it with the left hand after the thumb spin…U take the staff with your left hand facing downwards. Couldn’t it be facing upward all the time? That’s the way I find easier to do. Is my way slower, you think? Thanks!
I’m trying to learn how to spin, and this is by far the most helpful basic video I’ve found. After watching you, I picked up the staff and was able to spin, but I noticed after I had the staff going for a while that I didn’t have the thumb spin part in there, I just rolled it over till I had to catch it with my other hand and rotated my wrist to keep it going…. Is this bad or do I need to learn the thumb spin part?
Well I don’t know how you perform it, but I noticed how you could go faster with the wrist roll added than you could with just the thumb spin. If you’d do only the thumbspin, your hand has to go faster and faster as you spin faster. With the wrist roll added, you have a bit more time before you have to catch it again because it’s making more turns around one hand.
Therefore how fast you can spin isn’t limited to how fast your hands move. There’s more to it than that though.
so ive been staff spinning for awhile now, and have been teaching myself. the main thing i noticed is i developed a different version of the basic staff spin does not include the the first part of yours (the roll over arm and catch). Its more of a continues version of the thumb spin that distributes even halves of the spin to each hand.
so how did you come up with this version?
You can practice it as long or as many times as you want! This system is not easier or harder than any of the other ways to spin a staff. If you think it looks cool, just try it out!
If you want to learn it quickly, just practice at least 3 times a week for at least half an hour each time. But it depends on how quickly you can learn!
ive been doin this shit since i was six no joke thats what happens when ur parents are hippies im 14 now and im pro!!! if u want to see some sick shit when u spin get a clear pbc tube and put two glowsticks at the ends its great for raves but b4 u put the sticks in drill a hole through the ends and fasten the glow sticks with paper clips throgh the holes u drilled.

How many times or for how long a day do you have to practice these? I’m still starting out and wondering if this is the right place to start.
