help me with looping problem

[coldone777]

ive never got into looping before so i thought id give it a shot it looks fun. after i loop the yoyo a couple of times the yoyo starts to tilt and eventually ends up side ways like the side of the yoyo is facing me and the string goes all crazy and thats the end of the looping combo which lasts all of 4 or 5 loops before this happens. how can i help straighten out my yoyo and make my loops more consistent?

Practice is all. Also try moving you hand in a few different ways and see what works for you.

There is no way to really help people with looping, sorry. You just need to find out how to do it by looping over and over. A lot of the pro 1A players arent that good at looping because they dont do 2A. We can wish you luck!

Yup, make sure you flick your wrist in a circular-ish motion. Then practice.

I have a sunset trajectory and I used to have the same problem.  I have practiced a lot and it went away.  What I do is when the yoyo is almost back I curl my hand in slightly and flick it back out.  It doesn’t move into the string or change it at all.  It is more stable the harder you flick but can spin out if flicked to hard without much experience.  I also try to flick it a little higher that straight out so that it stays horizontal.  I hope that I helped!

There is a nice vid over on Master of YoYo which I think shows the wrist motions on inside loops well:

Note when he says the the yoyo flips over on every loop, causing the string to loosen for righties, and contributing to the tendency for it to get “twisty”. There’s an outside loop vid also, but the link’s not working atm.
