Plastic whip keeps landing with the loop in front of the yoyo so I can’t bind. Any tips?

Not sure if this is the cause but make sure your string tension is neutral 🙂

Never mind I found out how. I just had to throw the slack further and pull the yoyo higher

Yo!  
I don’t think it has to do with how far or up you throw the slack/yoyo.

I think your problem on the picture is that you throw the loop on the wrong side of the yoyo. (It should be on your TH side)

Here’s a quick slowmo of how you end up with the mount on your picture:

And here’s how you should do it:

Good luck!  
Plastic whip is an awesome trick.
