the best i know how to tell you is to imagine your hands are switched and youre doing a lefty (if your a righty) brent stole… after you get it a few times you should start to hit it more

also, watch at least a slow motion vid of a regular brent stole (or cross hand if you can find one) to see exactly what the string does…

hope this helps

This is the reason: while landing the yoyo, if it’s the inner part of the loop (the closest to you) that goes into the gap of the yoyo, then you will land into a regular GT. If it is the outer part of the loop (the furthest) then it will land into a cross-armed GT.

I hope I’ve been clear enough, and sorry if my english is not very accurate Smiley
