Can anyone give me some help with my double or nothing; I seem to be having trouble landing it on the outside string. I can land it almost every time but I often land it on multiple strings. I am trying to learn the matrix and this is making it difficult.

I would appreciate any constructive advice.

Thanks,

sweet

Space out the string wraps around your fingers more.

So the first wrap should be closest to the web of your fingers and then proceed outward to your finger tips on the second time around?

Exactly, but not so far out that the string touches your fingernails.  
The most important thing, though is practice, practice, practice!

Yeah, don’t worry. You’ll get that trick down soon enough.
