Hai Tua

The Hai Tua is a hybrid trick composed of an extended thumbaround and a pinkybust that causes the pen to spin around the entire hand for a total of 2.0 rotations. It is commonly used in fingerless linkage sequences and in combo finishers.

It is notated as such: Extended Thumbaround T2-4* ~ Pinkybust 4*-T* > Fingerless Thumbaround 0.5.

History

There were tricks similar to the Hai Tua in the past, such as the IndexPinky Bust 1.5 12-34 that Eriror used to use in 2007. Spinnerpeem invented the modern Hai Tua in 2008 and popularized it, though his initial explanation video caused some confusion due to showing an extra 0.5 rotation, with a 1.0 FL TA like a Symmetrical Backaround rather than the actual 0.5 FL TA.

Variations

Aerial

It is notated as such: Thumbaround T2 > Indexspread 1*-4* ~ Pinkybust 4*-TF.
