One thing you can do is use gravity to your advantage. Instead of just binding normally, try to bind with the yoyo higher than your throw hand.  
Another thing you can do is a quick regen off the half wound string, getting more spin, then bind normally.

This method can also be applied to snap starting, since it is pretty difficult to snap start a yo-yo with enough RPM to get the yoyo to return back to your hand. Enjoy!
