Well, two good tips are to get your finger close to the yoyo about once inch away and if your right handed, your free hand finger should be on the top left hand side of the yoyo. And when getting close to the yoyo, sweep your finger diagonally up into the string. This will let the loop get into the gap better. ---

I was able to do this trick once I put a Yolo Fox on yoyo, but any poly will work. Just saying what helped me.
