Need help with reverse Brent stole, I’m can land it some times but I want to be more consistent with it. It doesn’t catch the string and goes through the slack

If it goes through the slack, you are probably whipping the string too much.

I have that problem too. I cannot say exactly how to fix it, as I used to hit it most by hitting the formation and then pushing it into the yoyo, but have been having more problems going for the whip style now. The amount of string grabbed give you bigger/smaller triangles, depending on where you grab it.

Edit: Realized I am keeping my th under my nth for rib.
