As you whip, the string comes under and around the freehand arm, like Reverse Slack Trapeze.

yea just try to make a loop around your finger. Just keep doing this until its solid. Than try getting the yoyo as close to you finger as possible. Other than that there is much but hitting the right string. Later.

Keep it spinning™

Whip hard, and make sure that both of the strings go around your finger. Just keep trying, i got this after practicing for days.
