Make sure you keep a constant motion with both or your hands. It helps to move it to the inside right away. Then outside and inside once in a while. This will help pump the yoyo and the die along. Other than that it is just a feel thing and I’d just practice it. ---

I had this problem until I watched Tyler’s freestyles. What I noticed that he does is that he puts his left hand more over his right hand and crosses it. Also feed more string into both the counterweight and yo-yo.
