Learning to Flow

It’s important to be patient with yourself and practice. Initially it can be frustrating and challenging but like all other skills and hobbies practice makes perfect. I would compare it to learning a new sport or instrument; you won’t learn in one day but after a few weeks you will start to understand the basics. Everybody learns at a different pace and it’s important to note there is no right or wrong way to flow, it’s about finding your own flow. If you don’t have a friend teaching and flowing with you, don’t worry! On our Instagram, Tik Tok, & YouTube channel @SpinFlowStar you can find tutorials, tips, and tricks to help you master your flow!

Personally, I learned over the course of a couple months. I’ve had friends learn in as little as three days and others take their time learning the craft over a few months. Luckily, like riding a bike once you learn you won’t forget as your muscle memory will give you a helping hand. If you practice 5-10 minutes a day you'll get the hang of it in no time! It’s easier when you have others learning with you or teaching you. Flow with your friends and family to learn faster. Fun Game: imagine you are playing hacky sack but with the FlowStar passing it back and forth with friends! How long can you keep it up? What tricks can you do?

As previously stated, there is no right or wrong way. Whichever way feels more comfortable or natural for you to twist your hand & wrist. I learned to flow with my dominant hand rotating clockwise as I was taught by mimicking a frisbee throw. From my experience it has been a 50/50 split for the way people prefer to flow but my only recommendation would be to try to learn the same way as your friends for group play. Up for a challenge? Practice flowing both ways rotating your hand clockwise and counterclockwise.

Don't be alarmed if you experience some soreness or discomfort in your wrist, forearm, or shoulder after a few minutes of spinning and practicing. This is a natural response as you engage new muscles and movements in this arm workout. With continued practice, the soreness will gradually diminish or take longer to set in. To alleviate discomfort, consider practicing with the opposite hand, spinning in the opposite direction, or challenging yourself by passing it back and forth between your hands.

Children as young as 7 and 8 have successfully learned the art of flowing, while those aged 10 and older tend to flow more consistently. It's not just a fun activity; it's a fantastic way to promote hand-eye coordination, unleash creativity, and encourage outdoor play, offering a refreshing break from the digital screen era.

The LED collections are a bit smaller in size (64cm) and weight. It may be easier for those with smaller hands and younger ages.
