what yoyo is it?

Is it responsive?

I would also play around with shorter strings if you usually use them longer than your belly button.  
It may help you control the yo more.

other than that Practice… ;D

Gravity suks eh.  
I would guess you need more momentum, Im not into horizontal, but I know what you mean just from trying a bit, you have to fight gravity with the momentum/swing of the yoyo.  
It, the yo yo doesnt just stay up there right ? So you have to make it, keep practicing and you should be able to do more and more of STG.  
Good luck.
