The whip takes practice and it will eventually become easier and easier until you don’t even have to think about aiming any more.

Try doing the whip as a slack motion (by pinching where you catch the trapeze) and tossing the string over slowly taking care to land it in the gap.

Then move on whipping it without chopping up the motion to aim.

Then stop pinching and try to land the whip like a whip.

Keep on moving, it will get better, but this trick is not an easy one.

EDIT: I have a question now lol, are you doing gyro Andre’s way or from the Mach 5 whip? Either way, it can be practiced with the same steps, except with Andre’s way, you might find it very hard to not pinch. 🙂
