    if normal psuedo sonic is [charge 23 0.5]-[charge 13 0.5] catch 23, what is [charge 23 0.5]-[charge 24 0.5] catch 23
    just how would you name it? the spirit of the trick is the same, but it goes to opposite fingers for the psuedo conic spin part.

    ps: sorry if my notation is horrible.

    I guess it would be Moonwalk Pseudo Sonic 23-24-23?

    Whenever I do pseudo sonic, the pen always hits my middle finger knuckle and it's really annoying cause then I can't use it in combos >_<

    Try to perform the Pseudo Sonic as close to the tips of the fingers as you can, until you are able to bend your middle finger in enough to be out of the way.

    Are there any exercises to gain for finger flexibility?

    cause my middle finger can't bend very far...

    Check out the threads in the Hand Care forum.

    I think if the catch is Moonwalk Pseudo Sonic, it needs more charge.
    So it's not Moonwalk Pseudo Sonic.
    I think we can break Sonics as Twisted Sonic, and is sonic family " hybrid of charge and pass"?

    Twisted Sonic is " Charge 0.5 23 ~> Pass Rev 23-12 ~> Charge 0.5 12".
    and I think Sonic is "Charge 0.5 23 ~> the trick 23-12 ~> Charge 0.5 12".
    the trick like sonic or tipped sonic without charges.
    it looks utility pass trick.
    So, if this theory is true, Pseudo Sonic is "Charge 0.5 23 ~> the trick 23-13 ~> Charge 0.5 13 ~> the trick 13-23"?
    it's an idea. unsure.gif

    I see Sonic 23-12 as:
    Charge 0.5 23-13 ~ Charge 0.5 13-12
    There is Charge rotation along with a change in finger position as the pen moves up a slot.

    I see Pseduo Sonic 23-23 as:
    Charge 0.25 23-13 ~ Charge 0.75 13-23
    The pen almost goes up a slot in a Sonic motion, then is interrupted as it returns, so there is no final movement from one slot to another.

    I see Moonwalk Sonic 23-34 as:[list]
    Charge 0.5 23-24 ~ Charge 0.5 24-34
    The pen moves down a slot while rotating in the same direction as a Sonic, which would normally travel up a slot.


    ...so, I then see Charge 0.5 23-24 ~ Charge 0.5 24-23 a Moonwalk Sonic motion going down a slot that is interrupted, only to return to it's original position. That would make it a Pseudo Moonwalk Sonic. Pseudo put ahead of Moonwalk. If the pen had not returned to it's original position, it would have gone down a slot: Moonwalk Sonic 23-34. Just like a Pseudo Sonic in either direction, this time the pen goes back up to the beginning slot in the middle of the Moonwalk Sonic motion:

    moving charge is not charge.
    It's Sonic 0.5, isn't it?

    I have this tip for anything clip.

    for beginners that is.
    first of all have the COP heavily on the outside of the hand (this way a minimum of pen has to pass over the bend finger, obviously)

    second, no matter what force yourself to perform the trick always keeping in mind to touch the palm with the finger! in the beginning your hand will be curled alot wich doest look attractive. but this will, over little time make your clips much easier handled.
    after a week, or when ever you feel like, relax more again and try to keep the hand straight

    this is my tip for exercise stretching of the finger!

    at least this is what I keep in mind.
    I am still learning, still far from my goal

    I'm kinda confused with the Pseudo sonic. Would it be the same as a sonic clipse or something because i haven't heard of these tricks before.

    It's like a sonic clip but it starts and ends in the same position. Kind of like sonic clip 23-23.

    does anyone have a video where Pseudo Sonic is used effectively in a combo? so far I can't think of a good use for it...
