Title: Top Headstall ?
Post by: Balshi on Apr 03, 2009, 05:32: AM
I've been tryin' this stall for like 2 days, trust me, i havent got anythin yet :boxing:
Is it cuz of the hair or it takes more time than any other stall to get used to ?

lol balshi
you act like any move can be learned in 2 hours or so
good positive thinking
but, bad if you stop after failing
main thing is to practice a loooot
keep practicing
I used to think top headstall is impossible
now I can do it from a headstall for like 5 seconds  :banana:

The best peice of adice i could give is maybe use a mirror.

This is one of those tricks that come easier for some people than others.

However if you look at back part, of the top of your head, there is some kinda lump there, your sweet spot is there, not in the middle of your head.

Thnx man

like gman said, you should start out doing it in front of a mirror. also start by placing it on top head with hands. the only other thing i can say is to try to concentrate you eyes on one thing. this helps you with your balance.

everyone has got their own sweet spot :DD you must find that place on your head and then it will go faster, just train and train, i've learnt topstall by trying it when i was bored, it came from nowhere haha

Maybe it's the hair if you have a crazy mow-hawk. If not, this trick takes a lot longer to learn. It's not something like a foot stall. You can't clench the ball a little. You really have to balance it.

About how long does it normally take to be able to balance it for about 5 seconds
because I've been trying it for 3 months and I don't feel like I'm any better than when I started
Title: Re: Top Headstall ?
Post by: DanTheMan on Apr 03, 2009, 10:18: AM
i dunno it took me like 2 months to get good at it... i still have trouble getting it there from neck or headstall, but if i place it with my hands i can keep it for around 10 seconds or more

I've been doing it as dan said
when you're just bored, nothing to do, I just put it up there trying for 10 min
1 year of doing that lol
but I think if you concentrate on practicing it more, you'll get it in waaaay less obviously

hmm i dunno the trick really took me about the same as it did with a regular headstall, there isnt really anything to it, but as dan said i really only practiced it when i got bored lol.

its different with everyone. i started getting it for about 5-10 secs within a week of practice, and i could get it there from headstall within the next week. when i get the ball in my sweet spot i've held it for 2-3 minutes could maybe go longer, but i'm not sure.  i still can't get it from neck stall. the only advice to this is to practice alot. its probably the hardest stall trick i've learned other than sole stall.

another little tip is to tip you head up just a litttle little bit, it will help trust me.
Title: Re: Top Headstall ?
Post by: Nicky on Apr 03, 2009, 07:26: PM
You need more than 2 days to do this trick
I do topstall sometimes, but not so much, and I really see improvement

Put the ball on your head and balance it, try to get the ball in the air as long as you can!
When you do this, you really get the feeling
Good luck  :thumbsup:

Post by: Balshi on Apr 03, 2009, 08:28: PM
Thnx guys
But this "sweet spot" is a bit far on my head, its like at the end, how will i balance it then ?
Atm, i practice it by placing it in the middle :thumbsup:

you must have a messed up head or u don't know the difference between headstall and top-headstall, if u do it properly you won't see the ball,
I thought this trick was pretty hard too but don't give up on it, just find the right spot and practice!

Title: Re: Top Headstall ?
Post by: iafree on Apr 05, 2009, 09:38: PM
if i put the ball at the front part of my top head(surely not at where the hair line is)
i can still see the ball ,very hardly though
