It kind of happened to me, but I think it depends on if your using a different yoyo/string than the one you learned it on. (A different feel of the trick). You should be able to adapt to it though.

Can’t say that it has happened to me. Just tried the trick before making this post and did it fine. Just got to remember your throwhand has to move up and down and not front and back.

When I was first figuring this out, this happened a lot. Every once in a blue moon it doesn’t click on the first try. String length can mess with it too. Seems harder with a shorter string.
