The key is to swing the yoyo closer to the tip of your finger.  
Also, take it slow. The faster you go, the harder it will be.

Yeah, slowly make it go close to your fingers. It also helps that the string connecting to your thumb and index is paralel to the main string.

also try this, I spread my L apart right when its about to pass over. That helps me to ‘hop’ it out where I want it.
