| Our Diabolos are of the highest quality and have a patented one-way bearing for easier and longer spinning. The most basic act of diabolo manipulation is to cause the spool to spin whilst suspended from the string. This is commonly achieved by dragging the string across the axle in such a way that the friction causes the spool to roll. By repeatedly lifting one of the handsticks (for right handed people the driving hand is typically the right) the speed can be increased. This method is known as acceleration. Further increases in speed are obtained by a variety of techniques including: Power whips Accelerations: Chinese Acceleration Loop Acceleration Power Burners Orbit tricks Once speed is built up the diabolist then typically performs a routine based on the tricks outlined below. The best diaboloists can work these tricks smoothly into one another and keep the diabolo in a constant motion without having to pause to speed up the spin again. The diabolo will stay balanced as long there is speed.
