Keep practicing and watching the videos Andre has. Really try to make it a wrist motion. The rest of your arm should be fairly still (not completely though) and your forearms will get tired. ---

The wrist motion is important. It is common to try to use the whole arm to make the motion, but that’s very inconsistent. Try holding one elbow against your body and looping. Harder, right? You feel like a T-rex, right? Then loop with your whole arm free. Easier, right? Your wrist motion was forced to become stronger and more pronounced by pinning your elbow down. But keep practicing training, and you should see improvement soon enough. -Jacob ---
