The whip acceleration is a more efficient way to gain speed than the basic acceleration and it’s easy to learn.
When learning the whip acceleration, your diabolo may fly horizontally on your left or right at high speed, so make sure you have enough space and nothing breakable in the vicinity.
As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you are left handed switch right and left in the step by step explanation.
Prerequisites
Step By Step Explanation
1. Keep your left hand on your left. From now on, your left hand doesn’t move.
2. Open your arms wide, by moving your right hand to the right.
3. Move your right hand past your left hand either under and behind or over and in front of the left hand.
4. repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have enough speed, the right hand goes back and forth and the left hand doesn’t move. You can alternate going under+behind and over+in front to help the diabolo stay aligned.
