One thing that helps when binding… is pinch the loop once you have it, and then move the string and loop in opposite directions, and then bring the loop toward the center of the yoyo.

There are two ways to do it, you can either pinch the loop and pull in opposite directions or you can do what andre said. It’s which ever way you think fits you. 🙂

Make sure you are doing the right direction bind, and feel it as “tucking it in”. And make sure to make your loop small
