It's because I was spinning to my left all this time, and it turns out I spin to my right naturally. I tried going to the right 'unnatural', and I spun it smoother, faster, and easier than ever before. I'm up to 720's now, which is good for me (I still suck, just not as much.) All you people who suck, try spinning the other way.
We have an old saying down on the bayou....Blehhhhh!!!
