Joseph Harris taught me that when you learn, throw the yo-yo slowly and practice lightly hitting the string and binding. Once you got that try it harder and eventually you’ll get it. I’m not the best horiz player but that helped lots.
One thing that I do is instead of turning and swinging my hand left, I throw it like I would a regular trapeze except and an angle. Hope this helps.
Hahaha wow! I read the post like 10 times before this, and I kept reading I can hit the strings like Mickey, and even when re-reading I would see it. Weird. I think watching the OldSpice guy has messed up my vision.
