That should have helped it was very clear. I think you just need to work on getting your throw down. Don’t start with the yoyo parallel to the ground. Try it at about a 45 degree angle and get it horizontal from there. ---

The Jensen video actually helped me a whole lot. I didn’t really get it at first, but eventually the pinwheel around the thumb started feeling really natural, and for some reason that makes horizontals feel a LOT more natural. Just keep at it!
