Either throw harder or bind earlier. Learning to regen can really help too. ---

Also you can try to tug harder with the throw hard as the bind catches but i would focus on throwing harder. Also getting the bind to catch is the hardest part so you’re in a good spot and you will start to get a better with feel for it with practice good luck! ---

Generally for me I create a longer tail which seems to give it more to bind up on. Maybe try that? ---

Try holding the tail until you start to feel it catch. Longer tail definitely helps as well. You could also try thicker string. What kind of yoyo is it? ---

I’d just watch some “how to bind” videos and see what they’re doing different. If you want good feedback, post a video or two of the problem and people here will definitely help. My [third post on this forum](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/bind-question/334993) was asking for help with binding actually and @ChrisFrancz posted a video of a basic bind there that was helpful. ---

Thats a nice yoyo. Id do what Jordan said and post a video. It’s hard to pinpoint without seeing. When I was learning to bind I saw a video that mentioned how you can kinda feel the response start to engage when your pinching it. That really helped me out.
