Just practice, you’ll get it.

Don’t keep the top string too tight.

What I do, is I stop right before it, and swing into it. Have a good, balanced throw, and you’ll be sure to hit it. :wink:

When I learned it, I was told to imagine making an upside down “U” motion with my throwhand as the yoyo is coming up to hit the string.

Keep the motion as slight as possible.

This will result in a smooth and nice looking 1.5 mount.

Good luck!
