Controlling a fingerspin

[FiveIronBrian]

Balance it like you would a spin top. Keep moving your finger in horizontal circles, moving your finger in the opposite direction the yo-yo is leaning. In other words, go towards the “outer edge” your finger is sliding towards, not away. It’s counter-intuitive, but it’s how the procession works.

You need to balance it like a spin top. Soft finger helps, but that’s not the real trick behind it. That’s not how to control it.
