I’ve watched Andre’s video on the Plastic Whip and I can’t seem to get the hand motion he is doing.

Can someone please explain the hand motions?

Thanks

If this helps, I’m using a legacy.

The yoyo doesn’t matter as long as it’s unresponsive. Stick your thumb in the string on top, so it’s on the same side as your middle finger, like Eiffel Tower if you know that trick, hold that string forward and lined up with the yoyo, and whip forward and the string should hook onto the yoyo. Hope this helps :wink:

ya like x52 said you want the string to be in between you and your thumb. then you push in with your thumb and make an ark motion lke he tells you to do in the video. if you do it fast you should get a loop
