    A bit more description will help. Are you trying to get the spike into the TAMA? Or are you trying to go somewhere after that? Here are a few ways of spiking.

    Whether or not this is mentioned in any of the videos above, knees help a ton! Following and tracking where the hole of the ball is and watching the two connect will help you progress faster and become more consistent with those tricks

    i would just say practice pulling straight up with the tama so the tama faces down perfectly. dont worry about catching it on the spike at first, just practice that pull up with your knees and then once you have that down then practice getting the spike directly under that tama hole. breaking tricks down in sections will help you learn faster.
