So i'm finally hitting halos and very close to getting clean angel rolls with a meteor.

I'm wondering if anyone else here does contact meteor?

And if so, do you recommend heavier ends.... i'm thinking heavier ends will make contact easier because the meteor will PULL itself more without having my hand do it so it can travel my body easier....

just my two cents.. peace

    I was playing with it over the summer. Halo rolls and I guess what is akin to a Steve. I have not been able to do an angel roll though. That's pretty impressive. :)

    Ive heard a lot about making the tether longer for contact meteor. There's probably a lot of evidence to back that up too, but I cannot keep the rotation fast enough when I get a full 3m rope to do that. What has been working for me is having a thinner rope, so that the heads inertia can keep the meteor taut without having to add more weight to the heads.

    Those are just a couple of options, but yeah, adding a heavier head would totally make contact poi more successful. I wont say easy, cause getting pegged with a heavier head wont be easier. :P
