What string are you using? Some strings whip much faster than others. ---

> [@yairhonig](#): > > kitty string…but very long Kitty doesnt whip too well. You can whip amd stuff with it after you learn how to with a better string, but it is HARD to learn with kitty- I would suggest getting a pack of toxics or grey matter. ---

You can also try making your own string. I can easily make really whippy string. ---

1.5 hook? If you whip too fast, the string won’t swing around. I actually whip SLOWER to get the loop larger and more consistent. Too fast, makes it a bit more inaccurate. Try and do it a bit slower and keep your hands closer. And make sure the loop is nice and large ---

> [@yairhonig](#): > > its not only 1.5 hook,they are another whips that i cant do Trust me. Slowing down, and learning to control makes all whips easier. I learned iwasawa town, by slowing down. I learned quite a few picture whips etc by slowing down! ---
