I’m having trouble whipping around the string. I do everything else correctly but the whipping. :-[

Iron Whip is a tough trick to do. I could not do it effectively until a month ago but I started learning it about 7 months ago after I got the Duncan’s How To be a player yo-yo video and saw it. trick help try to pop the yo-yo up and whip it. when you grab the string my hands knuckles are facing toward me and then I whip. but most of it is just practice.

Try and learn Jade Whip. IMO, it is easier, and after learning that, iron whip might be easier.
