The main issue I’m having is the yo-yo is too low to the ground when it is behind my back and the yo-yo comes across at an angle instead of being parallel with my back.

I’m thinking maybe my yo-yo string is too long. A lot of the time when doing the trick, the yo-yo lands on the top of my right foot when I move it backwards. I’ll have to experiment with that.

To keep the yoyo from hitting my right foot, or the ground, I twist the string around all of my throw hand fingers. It makes the string a little shorter. Once you get ready to do the bind just untwist your fingers.
