Not sure if you need help still, but some tips I have are; 1. Throw hella hard, harder than you ever have before. 2. make sure your hitting the rim of the yoyo, it should balance itself out. 3. make sure your hands are clean, your yoyo will spin out fast if it grips your finger 4. make sure your finger is limp, and kinda curled so it hits your finger nail. 5.Try using a yoyo glove, if your spinning out to fast 5. make sure your using a yoyo that is able to fingerspin. Try linking a video of you trying it, that would help us tons. :wink: ---
