> [@yoyoplaya](#): > > Everytime i try this it wont flop. ??? I learned a different variation and its hard. But not to hard since i started like 2-3 months ago but you have to be able to pull the strings as tight as possible id learn normal gyroscopic flop first if you havnt. ---

When I try the yoyo only goes a quarter of the way, so it is spinning parellel to the ground and then stalls. After a few seconds it dies and the string twists around it like mad. What am I doing wrong here? I can do a regular gyroscopic flop with no problem. Any advice??? ---

Sorry if I upset anyone by bringing back an old thread. I have been trying to get this trick down and for some reason haven’t been able to. I was going to start a new thread and ask for advice but thought I would search to see if it had been covered already. I did not notice the date on the thread but still don’t see the problem if I have a question dealing with a trick that I am having trouble with to post in a thread dedicated to learning that trick. I am new to the yoyoexpert forums and guess I didn’t know how things worked here. Usually it is preferable to not start a new thread if an old one is going already no matter the age. Once again I apologize for any offense caused, but would still like to know why I am having this particular problem on this trick. ---

It’s quite tricky pulling the strings tight with just one hand - but as with all gyros, make sure the strings are centred and pull pretty tight.
