Thanks Derrick, now i can do one handed rolls and I have learned the moeller with both hands.. Once again, thanks..
Slow down and make the whip motion smaller. Watch my moeller vid again and go to the part where i completely open up my left hand, practice that for awhile, should help the continuity.skate4flip said:Hi,
Could someone answer theses questions i have about the moeller technique and one hannded roll?
1. Whenever I try the Moeller Technique with my right or left hand (trad. for left), I can not seem to get the the continuous stroke. I just end up going 1e&, pause, 1&e, pause, etc.... No matter what I do there is always a little delay between each stroke/snap. Sometimes its more noticeable than other times. How do I go about fixing this (if there is any other answer beside practice)?
Absolutely. You can do as many as you want or as many as the music calls for, simply adjust the whip and rebound accordingly.skate4flip said:2. Is it possible to do the Moeller Technique with a total of 2 (eigths) or 4 (sixteenths) strokes instead of 3(triplets)?
It took me about 3 months to get the jojo-OC even at a faster speed. This is a motion that your hands are not used to doing, and they need to be trained. I would practice it on my steering wheel at red lights (I do not condone playing and driving.), whenever i could. Give it time, it will come.skate4flip said:I also have two questions about the one handed rolls.
1. I can play the Jo-Jo Mayer right hand one handed roll fine at a slow to moderate speed (sixteenths at 84 b.p.m). When I go any faster though (or sometimes even at that speed), the strokes start to sound uneven (instead of 1+2+3+4+ its more like 1 ah2 ah3 ah4....). I also find i can not move my wrist fast enough when going fast enough (maybe I'm doing something wrong technique wise)?
There is a small squeeze with the thumb on top, this is the "catch". Try to avoid using any arm on this one.skate4flip said:2. For the left hand Buddy Rich one handed rolls, do you apply pressure in the fulcrum to create or help the rebound or is the rebound only made moving the arm/wrist up and down. I find that by only bring my arm/wrist up and down my strokes becoming more off a buzz kind of roll instead an open/close kind of thing.
