Is that even possible? Wouldn't using one hand kill the orbital possibility, since they can't be pulled to wind?

If you are able to somehow do this... i will refer to you as god from now on. And have a bunch of Plur kids follow you around at raves and bow to you after everything you do =P

Edit: No retarded loop holes, and your other hand cant have a string... and nothing in your mouth, only 2 strings charley, i have no idea what ur thinking of =P

Theres a way to catch and reverse the direction of the orbital, but ive never heard of a successful one handed orbital . ive tried doing an orbital and releasing a string while its winding, but the string gets tangled and it loses its sturdiness.

it may be possible if its done to scale. The orbitals that are created from photons if shrunken down to fit between the thumb and pinky finger in theory could be done one handed.

I dont think its possible. The thread youre thinking of was a thread making fun of moves that were probably impossible. aka just naming moves.

Well, nothing is really IMPOSSIBLE if you think about it.

Actually, maybe some stuff is lol. But this shouldn't be.

I don't really experience with two strings on one hand, but I find this hard to believe. I feel as if if would be hard to get them on split time on the same hand. Then no ones hand, should be, large enough to get enough force to cause the orbital to "orbit". Not sure if that makes sense

^^ Ditto. The day Melvy says something can't be done is the day it is the final word of god.

If you think of the entire mechanics of an orbital that most people do, this isnt possible with one hand. You need two forces of tension, even if you try having one string on your thumb and one string as far down as your pinky you wont have the amount of string to work with, force generated, and i really doubt you'll have the control.

Yep.

Unless you shorten your strings way down. The orbital would only last for a few short rotations, but I think it might be possible with ridiculously short strings.
