I’m sure you’re just using the term “whipping” in a generic way, but the action of doing a standard ninja vanish is so gentle and elegant that “whipping” just makes me thing you might be trying to do it too fast. When you’re throwing (whipping!) the loop around to form the GT the yoyo will land in, try throwing it more towards yourself as opposed to just trying to get it to the close side of the horizontal string segment. Not sure if that makes sense… hard to explain… don’t try too hard to make a “side-to-side” loop; go ahead and throw that string segment more towards your body. 🙂 ---

> [@ProCrastinathan](#): > > ive been working on ninja vanish for a while and ive only landed it 3 times i think im whipping it wrong? HALP OMG, i just learned this trick a few days ago and got it somewhat consistent today! Ok… First thing… Make sure u understand how ur supposed to do the motion and how the gt forms or u will do it all wrong. Next thing, make sure when u doit the loop is forming. If it is forming but ujust cant land it, exaggerate the motion to make the looplarger and easier to catch. If ur doing all of that, u just need to practice, get comfortable, get used to it, then u will get it! ---

This was my first GT trick and I picked it up pretty easily. Just keep at it ---

When I first learned this trick, I would whip the loop on the wrong plain. I was whipping the loop straight in front of me. It all clicked when I realized to whip the loop from right to left. This makes catching the string in the gap much much easier. ---

It all clicked when I realized to whip the loop from right to left. This makes catching the string in the gap much much easier. Definitely looking at it from the right side gives you a lot more accuracy. ^^ was the best advice I got back when I was learning this. Also I found using my whole hand compared to just my index finger was a lot easier (if Y.ou haven’t already tried) ---

It all clicked when I realized to whip the loop from right to left. This makes catching the string in the gap much much easier. I agree. It’s almost really hard to explain or understand with words. But once you understand this, it’ll make your accuracy way better, and it’ll make your Ninja Vanishes look Pro-Stylee. And if you don’t exactly understand, don’t worry. It came to me with practice, so I’m sure it’ll come to you. Just keep practicing ---
