Help centering single foot spin

[yayah917]

hi dear all,

im an adult skater who skated casually for 2-3 years and started learning more seriously for 1 year. I find spins very difficult, it's very hard to center my spins, or have the momentum to keep the spin. Are there any tips to how to center my spin? I recently upgraded to MK pro blades which initially helped a lot in spins compare to my very old flat beginner blades and I thought I finally grasped the feelings of spins but then lately they seemed to be worse again.

thank you.

Keep working at it and listen to your coach's feedback. Focus on getting a nice long entry edge to hook around into the spin and stand up really straight (I tend to hunch forward). A good core is also super helpful for spins.
