Hello everyone.

I am still trying to determine if my hops are correct.&nbsp; I posted this question a wile back with some pics but I think i was not very clear as to what I am asking.&nbsp; So if a pic is worth a thousand words then video should be worth much more.&nbsp; Or at least clearer. :wink:

The first video is me doing hops the way I learned them many years ago.

When I look down at the yoyo I can see the outside side of the yoyo.&nbsp; On most of the videos I find online it looks like the yoyo should be tilting the other way so the inside side is more visible.&nbsp; And the second link is an example of this.&nbsp; So here is the question posed to the experienced 2a people on this sight.&nbsp; Is the way I am doing the hops wrong?&nbsp; should I relearn them the other way?&nbsp; The reason I am asking this is I am having a very difficult job moving on to 2 hand milk the cows.&nbsp; To get the tilt i use, I have to throw the yoyo out away from my body to start.&nbsp; When I watch others do milk the cows they look like they throw their yoyos inwards to start the hops.&nbsp; So anyway.&nbsp; If anyone has any insight on this I give you my thanks in advance
