Hai Tua
More actions
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*-TF.
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[1] 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
A thumbaround interrupted by a spread is performed in place of an extended thumbaround.
It is notated as such: Thumbaround T2 > Indexspread 1*-4* ~ Pinkybust 4*-TF.
