> [@Rakleon](#): > > Plastic whip - Double or Nothing - Matrix - Double or nothing - bind I know all of those, but I’m so confused… Plastic whip, I usually do front-style, so I don’t see how it could go double-or nothing under normal circumstances. Then I thought, “Well, throw it sideways and see if you can figure out how it’s supposed to go to d-or-n” but… I just don’t get it! On top of that, Matrix is all about connecting double-or-nothings, essentially, so you’re not really going into another d-or-n after are you? You’re just ending in the double-or-nothing that’s considered part of The Matrix? But mostly it’s the plastic whip to d-or-n… I can’t visualize it, and I can’t figure it out with a yoyo in my hand, either! Any pointers appreciated, as always. ---

Throw a Breakaway and whip it SIDEWAY , after that put your nth pointer finger into the loop then make it into a d-o-n then a full matrix then d-o-n then bind ,its easy when you know how to do it ---

Usually combos don’t have names , but if you put a whole lots of tricks of difrence variations into one smooth throw then maybe perhaps you could name the tricks . To answear your question : Easy Combo ^^ ---

I think he means gunslinger- done side style, with the index finger, instead of front style with the thumb. ---

I appear to have jacked this thread. :wink: I understand the theory now-- it’s not plastic whip, insert a finger to make it into a D-or-N, it’s plastic whip, trapeze for half a moment, and then do the hop over the finger (like Matrix itsef) to get into the first D-or-N. The problem I’m facing is that when I do the “separate then hop”, the yoyo is spinning in reverse to what is normally expected in a D-or-N. Am I missing one little trick or step? I throw the whip, put NTH finger into loop and separate (if I don’t do anything else, it looks like a trapeze, but with the yoyo spinning in reverse). I then continue as normal, hopping over the throw-hand finger and back around for Double-or-Nothing; however, the yoyo is still in reverse. Do you just have to be careful and fast, executing the whole thing with a reverse-spinning yoyo? ---

it spin in the right way not reverse my hand is left handed so you see the yoyo is spinning in reverse correct ? The yoyo is spinning the way i throw it 🙂 ---

We’re doing something subtly different from one-another, and I can’t figure out what. No matter how I cut it, I can’t get into the combo without the yoyo spinning in reverse. I’ll try again tomorrow. :wink: [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/help-beginner-combo/43860.md?page=2)
