A couple of questions for accomplished throwers if I may…I’m learning finger spins, have a great yoyo for this - iYoyo Iceberg - and am starting with a right-spinning throw (I’m right-handed) to land on LH index finger pointing up. I’ve already caught a few spins pretty well, but every time the yoyo lands, the string coming from the axle is already at the left of the yoyo & winds from there around my finger. I try to keep my TH up & to the right to keep the string away from the yoyo like I’ve seen in videos, to no avail.
How do I keep this from happening?
Also, in many videos I see people using the pinky/ring finger pinch, like during magic drop or 1.5 mount, so that the string comes from the TH underneath the pinky. What’s the benefit of doing this? Seems superfluous…though maybe I’m just not seeing it because everything I do with a yoyo is still pretty sloppy.
