when i do chopsticks since i have small hands i don’t use my index finger when going into a trapeze for chopsticks, i use my middle figure so i’ll have more room to land the chopsticks. It also took some practice at first though so practice practice practice.

Yes, when landing the trapeze, try to keep the yoyo close to your non throw hand.
