Here is my crappy boing. This is about average for me. Sometimes they dont even happen, then sometimes they look just ok at best. But EVERYTIME no matter how straight I throw or how perfectly aligned I think everything is, the yoyo starts to rotate between the boings. WHY https://youtu.be/5YM4YM_3E-4

Looks good. Just keep practicing… try learning other forms of boingy to help improve your basic boingy. Try boingy in other mounts, vertical boingy… basically practice practice practice.

Doing some forward rolls/flips first to add a couple wraps around your throw hand finger will tighten it up a bit and make it easier (or using a shorter string). When I was learning, this helped a lot and I was able to decrease the wraps over time as my precision increased.
Also, pay attention to how the strings are lined up and make small adjustments in the opposite direction of the tilt to correct the tilting. It all comes together with enough practice. Keep it up!

It looks pretty good to me. The rhythm is tricky, and I would describe the stage of trick learning you’re at to be “refinement”. You can do it, but you might not be able to repeat as many times as you want. For me, there are 3 stages: understanding, execution, and refinement. I think for more experienced players (or maybe for simpler tricks) there’s a fourth stage, where the trick can be altered/mixed up/interrupted/broken down and mashed up with other elements.
Sometimes when I feel like I’ve reached the limit of improvement/refinement I will move on and try something completely different, or just work on a different element/trick and revisit it periodically and find that I’ve improved even though I didn’t focus so much on that one trick.
