    I need help with Mid Bak 1.5. I have difficulty making my fingers straight at the same time when the pen is Spinning. The pen seems to just roll off my fingers.

    Well I'm no expert at continuous midbak 1.5's, but which side is the pen rolling off?

    Try get an idea of index Bak 1.5 first, then you move on to middle. Not sure if that might help. But they have just the same concept Relax your finger, you don't need that much additional force to add on the 0.5 rotation. It requires just as much as you do with 1.0, mostly it involves with handmotion and the catch. [Try watch some tutorials about the handmotion, you need to do a 'follow to' motion to perfectly catch the pen.] Also work on a single MidBak 1.5 first then do 1.5 -> 1.0, 1.5 x2, 1.5 x2 -> 1.0 and so on.

    Once you get the single midbak 1.5 down and want to do it continuously, I suggest you learn neobak 12-23 > midbak 1.0 23-23 first. Then try doing neobak 12-23 > midbak 1.5 23-23, and neobak 12-23 > midbak 1.5 23-23 > midbak 1.0 23-23. - the hand motion to do it cont is the same as the midbak 1.0 from neobak 12-23.

    best way to master a cont. trick: get in a contest with someone. @Kyoflow and I are in a contest to see who can get midbak 1.5 x10 first. it has really pushed me to get it down. my consistency has improved dramatically in the past couple weeks as a result. of course you should master the single trick first and work your way up.

    @Reason Lol that's actually a really good point, but I think that's a bit more of a mental issue where he needs physical tips to get his first midbak 1.5 Ahah but my midbak 1.5 did become much more consistent
