Ok… so I’ll give my 2 cents. It’s awkward as eff. But i noticed inthe tut that matio has LONG fingers. He looks like he gets his nth middle finger to under cut the yoyo while his NTH thumb nail bed is still facing up (keeping the chopstick mount on place)… check his slow motion. Once i tried to really extend my middle finger and hold the mount with mythumb i for ita few times… then i just repeated it till i found the more comfortable groove. ---

Hmm, I’m having trouble seeing exactly what happened, but when you break it down the trick is essentially undercutting the loop of a trap bro mount with your TH index and NTH middle. It also helps to keep your palm facing upward for the middle finger undercut Im actually having a hard time putting words to it now lol, I’ll take a video once I get settled in here at work ---

Using super slo-mo vision, I found exactly what went wrong! Your NTH index isnt used at all during the repeater but during the second undercut you had the index on one string and middle on the other. Hopefully this helps! The one I missed I think kinda helps to show things [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/1/6/116d9a671cd0ceb42e7e969016964e96e87efe0d.jpeg "Chippy Chop") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqBsFmK5jI0) ---

I think second hardest. I think Nagao Hops is harder. I had given up on Beefhook till recently. It took a solid week to get it to start clicking, then I just worked on it a few minutes every day over time and I was finally landing close to 9 out of 10. ---

Well, Just to tell that I’m trying… Not at all consistently, but on the way TaW #13: [https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLPzsGFQhh/?igshid=12w8e6kwp3i3g](https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLPzsGFQhh/?igshid=12w8e6kwp3i3g) TaW #14: [https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLP49ZHG3m/?igshid=1b8fldr98a9ba](https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLP49ZHG3m/?igshid=1b8fldr98a9ba) The felling is simple: so much to learn. ---

Man 9 out of 10 is close to perfection. I don’t think there’s any trick that I can land with that consistency actually. With beefhook I’m around 1 out of 3 maybe… ---

This trick makes me dizzy… Back and forth, its way to easy to go for that second try, 3rd try, 4th, 5th… until you’re 70 in with 70 missed. I’ve decided I’m not very good at hooks. 🙂 I’ll get one. ---

I probably practiced it more than any trick ever. It’s so easy to do so many reps, you can easily make 1,000 attempts in a day. With my torn rotator cuff I’ve only been throwing 10 to 20 minutes per week, and my Beefhook is already down to about 1 in 5 ☹ ---
