I've been practicing The Spring like forever now but I can't seem to catch it. I got Genesis and form the catching hand exactly like Andrei shows it but I still can't catch the cards 'cause they land SO MESSY! *About to run against the wall*

Can't catch The Spring

How long have you been practicing for? I would suggest holding your hand to your chest, and aiming them at your chest directly above your hand, they will then bounce off and land fairly neatly. Once that is well practiced, move on to catching them in the hand, using your pinkie to do the job that your chest did. Your spring should not be aimed to land in your other hand, instead, aim for your pinkie and let them bounce off. That will guarantee little to no mess.
Like 6 weeks or so! Don't know if that is long for The Spring. They actually do land in my hand but... yeah... see youself how they do it:
Have you tried aiming for your pinkie as I suggested? I can post a quick video later if you'd like.
Lol,sorry, but you're catching them in the totally wrong direction from what I can tell. You've got them long ways in between your pinky and thumb. Turn the whole deck 90 degrees and try it. I'll send you a pic through email or something if you like... I have no idea how to add pics on this
I GOT IT!!! It's far from perfect but I seem to be on the right way, now! Much thanks for all your help!
Yes, I played with this as well. I always sprung them from the corner but I figured out that I had a little too much pressure on them, so try to spring them a bit "softer" now!
