I’ve been trying to work on redirects but i’m having issues. More specifically, I’ve been trying to do eli hops off to the side instead of vertically (that’s a variant of a redirect, right?), but when i do it the yoyo always just falls out of the sky. Also, been trying to do the bind seen [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Throwers/comments/eoidph/a_trick_idea_i_had_tonight_kickflip_catch_thing/) but i can’t the yoyo to stop mid rotation and go the other way. Any tips for this? ---

I had watched it before and got the 1.5 redirect down, but i just watched the part with the sideways eli hops in slow motion and i think i have something new to try now. He has the string between 2 fingers on his non throw hand and moves his hand up quite a bit. Going to try that later
