I can finally bind from an under mount pretty consistently. But I’m having a heck of a time with binding from trapeze. André demonstrates it by just taking the loop and crossing it. It seems to work fine for him, but I can’t get it to even start to bind up. Most of the other bind videos go into a reverse trapeze first. Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to land very many reverse trapezes. I’m working on it, but I just haven’t figured out what to do with my non-throw hand to get it to land that way, yet. But, it seems like the yo-yo is spinning the wrong way for a bind when you are in the forward trapeze. So, is the method that André shows in the last “intermediate” video not the recommended way? I guess what I’m asking is: Should I be trying to get the yo-yo to bind from a forward trapeze, like André shows, or should I be working on my reverse trapeze? I assume I will eventually be able to do both, but which one should I be working on now? Thanks in advance. -Kevin ---

you just have to thread the string preaty fast in the loop and try to get more string in the loop if its not grabing ---

So you are saying that I should be able to do it from a forward trapeze, and I should work on that? -Kevin ---

yes you can do it from a forward trapeze, a trapeze, a side ways under mount, and a braintwister mount and a lot more ---

Front style is best binded using a reverse brain twister mount, or what some call a trapeze. Side style is best binded using a reverse trapeze. When you do the opposites of what I just mentioned, you often get a snag, which is why André usually binds and then throws down once. If you do want to do it like he does from a trapeze, do the same move as a lindy loop, but instead of pushing your finger into the string the yoyo is sitting on, miss it and keep going, giving you a wrap around the bearing. This will help greatly in binding from a side style trapeze. ---

Details, details, details… I need to watch more closely, I guess. My problem with the “basic bind” in that first video, was that before you tug with your throw hand, you have to kind of swing the yo-yo away from it. (Under your non throw hand.) You only need to do it just the tiniest little bit, but it fixed my problems. I was trying to bring my non-throw hand over the yo-yo, but you bring the yo-yo under your non-throw hand. Maybe that didn’t make sense, but I seem to have figured out what I was doing wrong. Thanks for the advice. -Kevin
