This video seems like a great resource. I personally think the trapeze variation is easier than the mach five, so start with that, then learn the mach-5 (which should be easier than that whip mount).

Unfortunately, this is a “feel” trick. So once you get the mount, there’s still a bit of the move that is hard to put your finger on and really just takes a lot of practice. It’s not just the pull though. It’s a combination of string tension and slightly moving one hand forward and the other hand back to get the yo-yo to rotate.
