Hello, I have started learning hook recently and I find it extremely hard to do it. The string usually doesn’t run into my finger. But if it does, it will turn into a GT. Please help me!

\*done from breakaway throw  
Make sure you get the string to start going around clockwise, then place your finger across the 2 string segments (when on left side of yoyo, if right handed), not just the 1. Then, catch the loop on the yoyo. I forget which way catching the loop causes a hook gt, i think front string catching on top, but I could be wrong. Try catching the back (closest to you) string first, as I think that is the hook one. Remember to roll then pull string out from opposite side to dismount, then bind however.

Good luck!

If you have any problems, let us know.
