Brent stole tips

Do it enough times until it’s not just a motion that gets the correct result but something you’re really tracking and controlling.

Whip from further behind like when you whip, you whip behind the plane of the yoyo. The U shape of string appears from your hand to the yoyo. If you start whipping even closer to yourself than the yoyo, the U will be more open. Then intercept and push forward w th.

With a lot of whips I had trouble because I was just not doing it hard enough
