    This is a combo invented by Spinnerpeem. The pen is traveling from the top of the hand (can be T1 or just 1) via a top spin down to the edge of the pinky, then the hand pops the pen up in the air. While in the air, the pen spins 0.5 in the air before going around the thumb and landing in between T1. The breakdown of the Hai Tua is: Thumbaround ~ Handaround > Fingerless Thumbaround Video tutorial by Vicgotgame Video tutorial part 1 and part 2 by KTrinh93

    it was hard for me to master until i started doing it launching with ipba rev, it is 100% easier than tw sonic - ext ta or just from ext ta, it is much more stable and requires little or no hand turning so it makes it much easier to hit the pen up to be ready for the fl ta, it took me a day to master when i started launching with ipba rev or tw sonic bust start you could say

    the well it depends on what you call "mastering" a trick.. personally i learned the hai tua concept and did a good few of them w/i 45 minutes of straight practice.. i got it pretty consistent after that time... to master it probably took me a little longer but its not that hard to master..

    Ok the breakdown is wonky because I know for a fact that it does NOT have to start with Extended Thumbaround. It can also start with Twisted Sonic Bust, or a aerial. However there's a thing I'm not too sure of. Does the Hai Tua HAVE to have the pen begin at 1? For now I want to say the breakdown of the Hai Tua is: Backspin 0.5 > FL Pinkybak Rev ~ FL TA 34-T1

    I'd have to disagree. I'm not sure what Hai Tua exactly means but I think it has something to do with hand bust. If it were a hand bust, ut would definitely fave to start with a TA.

    But not everybody does. For example, in Vicgotgames Hai Tui tutorial he says the he usually starts from a bak rev position.

    I don't mean to sat that a Hai tua can't start from a different position but traditionally, and based on Peem, it would start with a extended TA. If I'm right about what Hai Tua means, that means starting with an IPBA rev. would still count as it's a form of busting.

    There's really no specific way, but mostly people like from ext ta, twisted sonic > ext ta, ipba rev (tw sonic bust) start, the tossed ext ta like vic does, and from an aerial, it really does not matter how you start it

    i just use the momentum from the twisted sonic to do the hai tua so i dont have to raise my pinky. the hardest part i think to do this trick is the turning of the palm at the same time the pen is falling off the side of your hand, if you know what i mean

    well i see your problem.. you pretty much have to raise ur pinky.. that helps with the whole turning ur hand when the pen goes off the backside of your hand.. lifting up ur pinky kind of forces the pen to go around it.. so you need to lift it up just a little..

    when you catch a hai tua, you want to make sure that you flip your pinky upward (but not too much) and then QUICKLY bring your hand while turning it over (palm side) to catch with the fl ta. when you do the fl ta, the pen should fall and hit your thumb. at that time you want to just hold your hand still and then let the pen do its rotation to do the fl ta.

    identify "put your hand vertically"

  40. Jamal
    Date: Tue, Aug 24 2010 09:31:22

    @KTrinh93 , yes its normal to turn you hand vertically, ktrinh he means to turn your hand from the tw sonic so your palm is facing towards you or to the side however you want to identify it. and also cheezpaper, try to learn ipba rev and then try to do a hai tua, its so much simpler to launch the hai tua like that

    it took me longer to learn ipba rev (still cant do it) than hai tua.. but i guess that depends on who you are but i learned hai tua in 45 minutes of practice. it might actually be harder (again depends on who you are) because the rotations of an ipba and hai tua on the back of the hand are slightly different

    if you want to learn continuous hai tua i think it would be easier to learn it starting with ext ta.. not a twisted sonic bust > handaround sort thing.. unless you mean starting it with a twisted sonic but still go around your thumb like vic.. i wasnt sure with your wording as to which way you did it.. :dunno:

    I think this means that you are applying force upward when you go to catch it. Also this might mean the pen hits your thumb near the center. It should hit the pen closer to one of the ends so that it can properly do the FL TA. You can't do an FL TA with the pen starting to rotate around the center of the pen if that makes sense.

    Help! I think my Hai Tua has 3 revs when it looks like it should have 2.5. I know I'm doing something different--prob wrong: After the TA when I send the pen down my hand it does 0.5 more revs than other spinners I've seen (KTrinh, Vic). I'm basically doing 1.5 revs of an ext TA, then 0.5 Pinkybak reverse (the pen is now falling off my pinky). Then the 0.5 as it goes around my hand and 0.5 in the FL TA catch. Any tips on getting the pen to do just 0.5 revs from the T1 slot to off the edge of my pinky? The way I do it, it's really easy to get the pen down to 34 and off the hand at the right angle...but I don't think it's right :blink:

    Hai tuas should have only 1.5 revolutions ;) The pen shouldn't spin on the back of your hand for a noticeable amount of time. What i mean by that is that when you do your extended ta motion, the pen should be continuously moving down your hand as fast as the pen is making revolutions. Right now, from what I can understand, your hai tuas are moving down your hand at a much slower rate than how fast the pen is spinning. When you do the extended ta motion, you should aim as if you were going to catch it in 34 but push it even a little farther out until it goes off the back of your pinky. You should [B]NOT[/B] do the extended ta motion so that it stops on the back of your hand and then tilt it down the back of your hand or whatever. As far as I'm concerned, you need to do the extended ta motion so that that motion ends going off the side of your pinky instead of ending on the back of your hand.

    KTrinh I don't mean to offend you in any way, but... The way you do it, the Hai Tua has 2.5 rotations. It seems physically impossible to do a Haitua with 1.5 rotations to me. My reasoning: You need half a TA to start it. The pen is now on the back of the thumb. You need one rotation to bust it all the way around the hand and get it back to that back-of-the-thumb position. You need half a fingerless TA to catch it. So 2 revolutions minimum for a Haitua...at least by that logic. If I do it the way you're telling me, Haitua would basically be...*ahem* bad notation *ahem* a fake triple (treating the four fingers as one "finger") minus 0.5 rotations in the link to the FL TA, meaning 2.5 rotations. I think I understand it now. Should I just build up my ext ta so that it goes around (12) then around (123) and finally around (1234)? and if so do you have any other ways I can practice it?

  66. Sam
    Date: Fri, Dec 3 2010 03:44:39

    ARG I got the motion down and everything. but i cant seem to catch it. I can only catch it with my hand. but not in a fl ta. When I try (Palm sideways and thumb out) It ends up hitting my thumb, missing, or going somewhere wild. XD. I need to work on my catches. and I find it easier to do standing up. Weird.

  67. Elune
    Date: Fri, Dec 3 2010 04:18:10

    Well, I had difficulty catching it, too ... But, well, try to incline your hand a little when you're about to "palm sideways and thumb out" ... It's easier to make the pen return to your hand :D Don't know why but it worked for me :D Btw, Haitua x2 is far too hard for me >.<

    You're not lifting up your pinky as far as I can tell. You need to tilt the back side of your hand upward so that when the pen goes around your pinky, it's up higher and so you don't have to move your hand back down as much to do the fl ta part of the Hai Tua.

  72. Elune

    Hai Tua is actually - Thumbaround ~ Handaround > Fingerless Thumbaround. It's perfectly possible to do from a Shadow. Shadow xx-T1 > Thumbaround ~ Handaround ~ Fingerless Thumbaround.

    Imo, a Hai tua should only be a thumbaround ~ hand around > fl ta. if it stars with anything else that replaces the thumbaround then its just that ~ hand around > fl ta.. imo, those people that do twisted sonic ~ hand around > fl ta aren't doing a real hai tua.. but again this is al just my opinion.

    This is why it's good not to name combos and just to write what you're actually doing in the interrupted trick format. There can be no confusion with a correctly written breakdown that uses only trick names and interrupted trick notation.

However there's a thing I'm not too sure of. Does the Hai Tua HAVE to have the pen begin at 1? For now I want to say the breakdown of the Hai Tua is: Backspin 0.5 > FL Pinkybak Rev ~ FL TA 34-T1
    so what is the acutla breakdown for the hai tua? because this breakdown mentioned here is different from your first post

    If I do a twisted sonic to hai tua, when vic does it, it passes his thumb. Does he do a thumbaround thing or does he do a twisted sonic and just let the pen pass over his thumb? I'll try to make a vid showing what I'm talking about if you guys don't understand.

    @scout He does an Ext. TA. I thnk i know what youre talking about. I used to do it where the starting position of the pen was like i was gonna do a tw sonic bust, but it has to start like youre gonna do a devils sonic, cause then it leads into the Ext TA smoothly. I myself can't do a Hai Tua, but I CAN do a tw sonic-ext. ta.

  83. Vic
    Date: Sun, Dec 19 2010 11:50:22

    The way i usually do haitua, you have to start like a twisted sonic bust. Its pretty much just a twisted sonic Thumb bust.

  84. WhatsOfTheUp1
    Date: Sun, Dec 19 2010 18:31:58

    @Vic Oh, okay so you can do it pretty much either way. Cuase i watched your vid right now (this one -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-C_iAbJPQg&feature=channel) And one time you just let it go around your thumb, but another time you did an ext ta. So either one works?

  85. Vic
    Date: Sun, Dec 19 2010 19:08:23

    yea, i was just showing the different methods of starting a haitua. Either one works, i usually do a certain one depending on the linkage before the haitua. Its good to learn both ways though.

    As you're about to catch it, lower your hand at a slightly slower speed than which the pen is falling. This way, you can slow the pen down and still catch it because the pen sort of has a "softer" landing spot.. if that makes sense.

[QUOTE=drgripable wrote: i have a hard time doing the hand-around after the TA
    Try practicing fake doubles down the hand like do a fake double to end in 23 and then try to 34.. after that try doing it just off the pinky (without the catch just for practice).

    umm no offense but your spinning definitely shows you're not ready for a buster.. sorry.. i have to say that the reason why i suggested you dont use a buster was because you kill your style and progress with it.. and before that was just an assumption but now that i saw your video i'm quite convinced.. if you decide to keep using it thats your choice but just so you know you fell into the buster trap.. so you can heed my advice or go on your way.. but i digress i wasnt able to see whether or not you were actually doing a hai tua because your camera angle was bad and not zoomed out enough.. also why so much light? you shouldnt be shining light directly into your camera.

    Date: Sat, Jan 22 2011 03:37:39

    @WhatsOfTheUp1 if u want to catch it after the aerial, try learning pinky bak rev. ~ Fl. TA (symmetrical bak i think.....). it's not an aerial trick but it helped me catch the pen to the thumb. once u think u got symmetrical bak down, try making it more like an aerial, so it becomes pinky bak rev. release > 0.5 Fl. TA. it's great practice for learning how to catch the pen. after u mastered the released version of the symm bak, u can combine it with the handaround; thus performing hai tua. Here's vicgotgame's tutorial on the symm bak (though he called it Pinky Bak Rev. - Fl TA ) [video=youtube;91P9JhXp7t0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91P9JhXp7t0[/video]

    no you can start it from any slot in any way, tiwsted sonic, fake double, twisted sonic bust, demons around, anyway you can get it from t1 over the hand, symbak is just the other half soo play around with it. i personally find twisted sonic bust start much easier, little hand motion involved. all about timing and eye tracing

    I can do a hai tua with an inkless, gripless, tipless bictory (aka just the barrel and caps). I think that if you can do a hai tua with that you've pretty much mastered it. I've tried with a toothpick before. It's just not long enough and it grips to your hands/hair too easily since it's made of wood not plastic like pen mod barrels are.

    I dunno if it's an Hai Tua, well maybe a kind of, but prefer this version: TA -> Index Spread -> Hand Bust (catch in T1) The Hand Bust more or less is a kind of Pinky Bak rev. catching it in T1. To me, this trick is a lot easier than Peem's 'real' Hai Tua and looks more impressive. ;)

    Yeh, seems to me to be a reasonable break, one of many possible for the hybrid. I think of it in terms of an interrupted hand around in general, that being a simplified explanation whereas a break would include the beginning of the hybrid and obviously an actual break of it and the interrupting flta .5

    that is part of my problem. i have problem to flip the pen when it is on my pinky. the pen fall so quick that i coudn't flip the pen when its on my pinky, but sometimes i flip my pen too early and it ends up the pen spinning horizontally in the air.

  191. Danny116
    Date: Thu, Feb 2 2012 19:15:37

    @Fate perhaps you should just delay learning power tricks, investing time on a wider set of easier tricks then moving to harder tricks is imo much more beneficial then just learning a single hard trick. plus with a wider set of tricks, also improvings linkages, etc etc. the only reason i learned hai tua was cuz i sprained my ankle during the summer (took like 5 days to heal) and had the extra time i wouldnt have had. :/ well if you're really into learning it now, alright i recommed a heavier pen (buster heavy IS NOT nessesary), and learn the pinky bakrev first, just a pinky bakrev, get that until you get the feel of the pen sitting on your pinky for a moment after that it is just trial and error on getting the details down (how hard to push the pen up, how fast to move for the catch, where the pen will land etc) be patient with it and it'll come btw how long have you been spinning?

    @eitto You could always learn the Ayatori trick from there if you like, that way you can learn something while you practise your hai tua.

  197. Reason
    Date: Mon, Feb 13 2012 12:56:53

    @eitto try practicing continuous TA->index spread. i had a lot of trouble with the hai tua until i understood how to catch an aerial trick in a TA. when you push your hand back down when doing the hai tua, the pen starts to rotate in mid air and you have to try to push it ever so slightly (after .5 rotations i believe) with the side of your thumb. its a tough trick to explain in text...

  198. Anemia
    Date: Mon, Feb 13 2012 22:26:41

    When doing the extended thumbaround part of the trick, try and make it less of an aerial, and keep the pen as close to your hand as possible. When I was learning this, that was the hardest part to get down smoothly, so that the pen only does a .5 rotation instead of spinning all crazy out of my hand. Everyone is different with style/technique so what I say may not work for everyone, but it did for me.

  202. Danny116
    Date: Sat, Feb 18 2012 17:32:36

    @Dimension if you want a tw. sonic > thumbaround start, you want to hold the pen with most of the pen UNDER your hand, therefore it will end the twisted sonic ready for the thumbaround (with an index push) if you want a tw. sonic > fl thumbaround start, hold the pen as you would do for tw sonic bust, bring your thumb above (closer to you first knuckle) in relation to the pen. so the pen is closer to your nails, and your thumb is farther. let go of the pen like a bust, and it could transition to an fl ta good luck!

    you might be turning your hand too fast.. i did that at first :/ it just took practice to get more control over it

  215. Danny116
    Date: Sun, Apr 1 2012 00:06:57

    @iPhat okay now that you have the ext ta > fl pinky bak down, STOP and train seperately the Pinky Bak rev > FL TA getting both those links down is key for a consistent hai tua when practicing the Pinky Bak > FL TA try to be as consistent as you can with the pinky bak rev, this makes correcting the hand position for the fl ta much easier. while executing the pinky bak rev keep in mind that it is an UPWARD push the starts with the elbow, and the hand follows through. pushing up will help make it more consistent. the COB should be just off the pinky, this also make sure it doesnt fly out of control xP i know its a lot to consider, but take your time, it'll come :)

    @iPhat have your thumb level with your index (like an indexthumb spin) and make an L shape with your index and thumb, catch with your whole hand. after this catching with just the thumb will be easier. if your still missing it, practice pinkybak rev > FL TA to improve consistency, then return to hai tua

  222. Danny116
    Date: Wed, Apr 25 2012 20:20:52

    @Zeal i think ive told you this on the SB but just a reminder. the 0.5 spin may occur anywhere from the ext ta to the pinkybak rev, and depending on how you do the hai tua it will be done on a different part of your hand. i recommend using a sc mod to map youre trajectory just so you notice the 0.5 spin. if you are able to perform a haitua then the 0.5 spin should take place, you just need to see it :P

    It has to go around your thumb, because the last trick in the breakdown is ~> Fl. TA If it doesn't go around then you either end it with a SideSpin variation, a normal catch, or other things. And that does not complete a HaiTua.

    That is not the point. The point is that it has to go around your thumb >.> You only see 0.5 rotation on Fl. TA because the other 0.5 is with the PinkyBak Reverse, because it is a hybrid. That's why.

  229. Danny116
    Date: Fri, Apr 27 2012 16:39:40

    @Ekronidus i see what you mean but since it continues from the pinky bak to the thumb, it doesnt go around, it lands ON then continues... ehh its alright im pretty sure Fuse has it down anyway.

    Exactly, because it is a hybrid. And in order for it to continue to TF like that, it needs to use the concept of Around. Also your statement is vague. If your dictionary says that 'Around' means 'To travel around in circular motion for 1.0 revolution'. Then maybe you can take it that way. But then again, this is a hybrid. So the Fl. TA would only go for the second half 0.5 rotation. As what the definition of hybrid is that the first trick starts but doesn't finish and the second doesn't start but finishes. It doesn't totally go 'around' the pinky nor the thumb, but it is the combination of both. By implying the sentence 'it doesn't go around' This is what it would look like if so.

    learn to let an ext. TA roll off of your pinky, most people lift their pinky up so that it sorta climbs over it... Then flip your hand and end in a FLTA. You might need to put extra force on the original TA do that it has enough momentum to roll over your pinky. Also if you don't know how much to tilt your hand try a few different angles and see which one works best for you xD good luck

    Date: Sun, May 20 2012 15:02:14

    @Obstrasized try practicing the haitua in 2 parts. the ext ta > pinky bak rev (catch the pinky back rev) then practice a pinky bak rev > fl ta. for the pinky bak rev, you want to push UP bring your hand UP not a swing, it looks like a swing cuz that the follow up motion, AFTER you swing upwards. doing so improved consistency. something you need and want. those two links flow directly into eachother so once you master both of them it shouldnt take too long to get a hai tua. it looks like you are getting the basic principal but practice on the 2 individual parts will do wonders, trust me. @jliba follow the same advice i gave to Obstra. but if atm you are still having trouble with the 2 linkages, i suggest spending your time on simpler links and trick. good luck gentlemen!!!

    No, as long as it goes over the pinky. If you watch some spinners, they don't actually lift pinkie up (VGG does, but that is his hai tua style). That's as far as I know anyways.

    Extending your pinky allows the pen to hit it and turn with more force as opposed to a whole hand movement, so power trick spinners will use their pinky extended while some will not (fel2fram hai tuas do not extend it, and are much slower)

    Thanks for the Tip. :) I can do Hai Tua sometimes now. 15% Chance to do 1 though. I shall try the advice you gave me.

    Yeah, Confidence too, but I use Percentages to help keep Track. I don't know if it works for you, but everytime it improved but a little, I get the urge to keep practicing that Trick.

    its essentially the first half of hai tua but caught. so the ext ta goes over the pinky is caught it is exactly as the break down dictates, so just practice pinky bak rev, and connect it to a ext ta sorry i cant find a tut on youtube

    It looked like you just did a ThumbSpin in the First Part of your Video. Second Part, you did ThumbAround Release and catch it, I think.

    From the way I see it, it seems like your problem is the FL TA and HandAround Part. Sometimes, you can't do the HandAround properly. You can't catch the pen while it is Spinning in the Air after the HandAround. I think that you did not raise your Hand high enough to do a FL TA as the Pen kept falling off. Focus on that and practice on TA Release > FL TA, IndexPinkyBakAround Reverse (IPBA Rev) and Symmetrical BakAround.

    Apologies for Double-Posting, but, I still need help with Hai Tua. I basically have the Extended TA > Pinky Bak Reverse down, I guess. But, what I am having trouble with is Pinky Bak Reverse > FL TA. I can't do Pinky Bak Reverse well enough to do FL TA. Any Tips?

    @Obstrasized you want you push UP for the pinkbak rev and your forearm should be horizontal, parallel to your chest (palm down of course). after your throw the pinkybak rev, lift your hand up, tuck your elbow in, and swing your hand under the pen, and quickly open your thumbflap area. you should lift high enough that it gives you the time you swing your hand under, but you have to make sure your hand goes OVER the pen. the reason to having your forearm in such a detail position is to train consistency. once you can transition out of the pinkybak rev and have it in the same spot. catching it will come much more easily. yes i know this is ridiculously detailed but youve been asking for help for a while xP

    I figured something out that changed my hai tua consistency from 10% to around 50% in minutes... BEFORE: When the pen was going on top of my hand, I simply lifted my pinky, but the pen when it fell off would fly really far away below my hand. AFTER: I realized that if I turned my wrist inwards when it went on top of my hand, it magically fixed all my problems. :)
