[Advice] General tips on how to get better at diabolo.

Let's use this thread to post general tips and guidelines on how to improve at diabolo. Here are some of mine:

• I find that taking a 48 break from diabolo helps your learning ability. It allows me to think about tricks in my brain and have that information settle. When I practice again, I can do the tricks easier.

• Focus on cleaning up tricks you already know. If you can do an infinite suicide, great! Don't move on to the next trick; learn clean ways to exit and present your trick. The best diaboloists don't do too many fancy tricks when they perform; they do easier tricks and execute them cleanly.

• Really invest in good gear. I've seen diabolo players on stage use old wooden sticks and old string. Get good sticks so you don't have to worry about them breaking.

• Try to slow down. I find that most tricks fail when you do them too fast. Pause a little when doing combos; it even looks nicer.
