If you whip the string on the front side of the yoyo it will be a normal side mount, if you whip on the back it will be a cross armed side mount. Jade whip and iron whip have the same motion, some people learn jade whip first. ---

I was having the same problem. Sometimes it was landing the right way, other times, it was going cross-armed. Took me forever to put two and two together XD Yuki ---

> [@Rakleon](#): > > the strings sometime landed in between, do you guysk know how to avoid that ? Ensure that the string tension is well-adjusted, and that you perform the motion smoothly, to allow a wide loop to form, preventing them from both landing in the gap. ---
