im having trouble with the basic over and under mounts from sleeper i run my finger down the string and the yoyo does a very short loop over my finger and usually either bounces off the string or races back to my non throw hand any advice would be appreciated

pull vertically with your throw hand, before the yoyo gets to your non throw hand, pull the non throw hand horizontally

under → I just go for the brain twister mount
