WT19 R6 combo

Well, it's finally the end of this tournament! There was a lot more material I wanted to use for this round, but it was not developed enough in practical skill or mental foundation, so I ended up sending a backup combo (sorry, haha). The theory behind the 1p2h concepts used is not that remarkable, but the difficulty has been increased a lot.

Nothing is wasted, anything that was not developed enough will be trained further for solo and future videos.

In terms of notation, ' denotes non-dominant (left) hand's finger, i.e. 4' is left hand's pinky, 3' is left hand's ring etc. Apologies for no 120 fps videos, the phone I use to record them has screwed up despite factory reset.


0:01 - 0:03: ?charge 44' - ?inverse twirl 44' - inverse twirl aerial 33'

I've used a similar idea to transition from both hands PU --> both hands PD in previous 1p2h combos. In this combo, it is done with both pinky fingers. In order to get this sequence usable, the order of skill mastery should be:
1. twirl fall (takes 3-6 months of dedicated practice at a minimum) and easier form of the PU --> PD transition using thumb (3-4 weeks to do without breaking pacing)
2. inverse twirl rise (2-3 months of practice) and harder form of the PU --> PD transition
3. combining above skills to usable level (1-2 weeks practice)

0:03 - 0:04: twirl 11' - twirl 42' - pass T2'3' - TT'1' - (palms facing each other) twirl TT' - 22' - 2h wiper release 22'

Fairly easy sequence with twirls and passes. A fast way to transition from having pen held near centre to being held at end (i.e. from regular material to 1p2h wipers).

0:05 - 0:06: 2h wiper release 22' to 11' - RH mirrored powerpass rev + LH inverse powerpass

2h wiper to ?counter/direction change 11' to transition from perpendicular (?) plane of rotation to anticlockwise plane of rotation. Also not particularly difficult, but shows that 1p2h can allow a large range of effects beyond those in 1p1h.

0:07 - 0:10: left hand palm down fingercross square pass - right hand interrupted inverse mirrored powerpass rev

Hardest ending in any of my WT19 combos (approximately as hard as second half of my R5 combo). Of note is the entry into the ending powerpass: it starts as a mirrored pinky spread reverse (i.e. by hitting back of pinky). Usually this powerpass is entered after a full fingerless pinkyaround, which is far, far easier.

Palm down fingercross square pass learning path:
1. pass reverse 23-14-23-14
2. fingercross 23 around (several days)
3. fingercross square pass by combining 1. and 2.
4. palm down fingercross square pass decently (3+ months)

Interrupted inverse mirrored powerpass reverse learning path:
1. inverse mirrored powerpass reverse (in basic form with fl pinkyaround entry, several weeks/months, depends a lot on how strong your technical skill foundation is).
2. interrupted entry - ?years? I started doing this trick around February, and was practising it quite regularly throughout this year - if your technical skill is comparable to mine at start of this year, then it can be expected that you will take 9-10 months to be able to use this idea consistently enough I guess.

I learnt a lot from this WT, see you next year!

  1. Hey I’m really interested in learning more 1p2h intertwined finger tricks. Where did you learn these?
