    Any tips on how to catch slingers out of other tricks, such as kens flips or airplane trade spikes? I see all these people bust them out in the middle of lines like they are nothing and when I try to catch the sarado for a slinger everything just goes wild. Any practice tips?

    Try doing ken flip to gunslinger and hold tama in your hand. Spin ken flip a bit more that you think and catch it on finger a bit later than you think. First just try doing it holding tama.

    I find whipping my finger around as I catch the ken to help. If you incorporate a slinger into catching the juggle itself, that makes it 10X easier.

    As I learned it few days ago, I recommend doing juggle->late slinger->spike combo, but instead od watching the tama, firstly look at the ken when you want to catch it on your finger. Then when you will be comfortable with doing late slinger, you can look at the tama and spike it :D

    how i do jugg to slings is pretty weird. So when the kenflip makes a full turn , instead of catching the ken then slinging, i find it much easier to slide ur finger under the cup and then sling . idk if u get what i mean but it helps a lot!
