Trick Tip Cult blah blah... cry about it.

Anyone else out there? I'm having a really hard time setting a slower spin.  I would think lapping park and doing 180's for a few laps and then up to 3's would help, but it didn't.  Anyone else deal with this?

I tweaked my knee two seasons ago, so I only dared to land switch, and I threw tons of 5s and sw 7s all season and virtually no 3s. The next season every 3 I tried was landed totally backseat.

The solution: do tons and tons of 3s. Focus on popping and setting and they'll come back sooner than you think.

I have this problem. I learned to spin ridiculously fast overnight and no matter how slow I try to spin, I end up spinning an extra 30ish degrees or so.
