Ok peeps i have a Q on the H hook. I seem to consistently hooking the wrong side?. The problem im noticing is after my āhookā catches Iām left with a Double on with a twist, but not in a bind and wrap around the index. Iāve hooked it correct once in 25 times last night but in those 25 i think 15 landed the way i mentioned. Video attempts where totally futile.
Any ideas why Iām hooking the wrong way? I checked my string and even grabbed a fresh one to eliminate torsion.

This could be famous last words.
But, I just woke up and saw a tutorial on beefhook (the Mr Matio one) and it seems doable?
My point isnāt that I think I will be able to do this easily, quite the opposite most likely, but itās amazing how some tricks can look so simple in tutorials but actually is far from easy

I think itās due to which half of the yoyo is āhookedā. This happens to me with iron whip and jade whip all the time. When I whip or hook the half closest to me I end up somewhat backwards.

I used to do this when I was learning the Hidemasa hook. It was literally the first trick I learned when I started throwing unresponsive, and after I had it down I could never quite figure out how I managed to hook it wrong so often, except in the case of the double on thing. Youāre probably hitting the gap of the yo-yo. Another way to mess up is if youāre not swinging the slack parallel to the yo-yo, it can catch the wrong side of just miss.
Youāll get it. Watch the slack while youāre doing it to make sure itās forming the loop evenly.
My first ever yo-yo video was my daughter secretly shooting slow motion of me doing Hidemasa hooks. Heh, I found it, so Iāll post it. Was also right after the first time I knowingly had a herniated disc in my neck, hence the neck brace.

Throwing hooks with a neck brace wow! This is hysterical! But really amazing hook with or with it the brace. Exceptional cameraman!

lol, sheās gotten a bit better since then! That was the first video she ever made and edited IIRC, and now she has her own YT channel. Itās mostly speed drawing and memes, and speed drawing memes, but sheās come a long way.
I should make her edit my yo-yo vids when I get back to making them

I was practising with really small strings (for my standards) cutted around belly button. And as some of you said, the control is enhanced, super fast manouversā¦ I actually hurt my hand sometimes. So I played around 6 hours and get back to my original size (super long)ā¦ And I could do the Beefhook over a Double or Nothing mount, soooo much Slack. Now IDK which size I preffer. Hahahaha
