At 3:42 he gets into the “green triangle” type mount. I can do this fine. However, I find when I do the motion at 4:13, the string going down to the throw is too short, hence the whole mount rotates rather than just the throw.
It’s like my green triangle mount above the yoyo is too short. If I adjust it to make it longer, then the follow up motion works fine.
However, when I try getting into the original mount the position is always too short, initially.
Can you send a video? I am having trouble picturing this or recreating it when doing the trick. This was a TaW last year tho so a bunch of people here know the trick and we can get you sorted out for sure. Just not exactly sure what is going wrong rn
I’m out ATM. But will send something over when I can.
It’s hard to explain, but I think the mount / string position above the yoyo is too close to the yoyo. Hence, when I am to roll it over, the string is too short and thus the whole mount rotates and not just the yoyo.
I am still a little uncertain so a vid would help or maybe someone else knows exactly what you mean and has the answer. But yeah whenever you’re able a vid would help no rush at all tho yo!
Hmmm I think maybe try to think of it more like youre hopping up into the top string and then the yoyo goes around vs a roll. When you hop up and into that top string, that should adjust the proportions and prevent the string from carrying around like that automatically. Also try to not bring nth quite so close to th as you go up and over and that should also help the proportions stay more comfortable. Also a mini tip is that you can use th thumb to pull the string back and that should help add space so the undercut element right after is more manageable. Hopefully these ideas help but please let us know if it is still giving you trouble and maybe someone else has some ideas or I can try to brainstorm more. Good luck and have fun yo!
I’ve been summoned! @MEJBelloz looks like you’re landing too far from your nth, also, is the string old? It doesn’t seem to slide properly.. can you shoot a POV by any chance? I’ll try to re learn the trick (3 years have passed), and come back to you
Mmmh, I’ve recreated the condition you’re facing and when I roll the yoyo, the mount just adjusts itself to let me intercept it with the thumb.. are you pinching the string somewhere with your th?
The two strings attached to your th should slide upwards to create the space for your thumb but this is not happening, instead theres some slackiness/slopiness when the yoyo rolls, like if the string was blocked somewhere. Try bringing your nth closer to your th during the roll, this should give the string some more freedom to move
