Try Using the Split Bottom Mount  
then Release ur NTH  
then take ur non throw hand and grap the string connected to the yoyo  
and then pull to the left to reduce tention

Well there are four ways that I have used:

1. UFO. You will need to wind up your yo-yo or flick start afterwards.
2. Sidewinder. Same case as the UFO.
3. Let the yo-yo dangle and/or/while spinning the yo-yo counter-clockwise for looser string and clockwise for tighter string.
4. Let the string dangle while holding the yo-yo. The fastest to release tension but a hassle to take the slipknot off your hand.

Usually I do #1 or #3. #4 I always do when I’m done yo-yoing to make sure my string is not too loose or tight the next time I yo-yo.
