I’m trying to learn the trick follow but the problem is that every second or third revolution around my hand the string starts wrapping around my hand or wrist. I can’t seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong but the problem is when the yoyo comes back around my hand. Any tips on how to prevent this? I’ve searched for other threads but none of the replies have helped.

Thanks 🙂

Every time you swing the yoyo around, you have to let go with your thumb and regrab the string
