Here is another video.

Just try creating the motion without actually whipping the yo-yo.  
The whole idea in the beginning is to focus on creating that loop that goes over your thumb.&nbsp; Then once you have that the key is to control that to grab the yo-yo.

yo if you are a right handed yoer, whip the string farther to the left than you think. second a little thing that i do to catch it everytime, is to, after you whip the string, curl your 4 fingers in towards your body and slide your thumb down the string and have your thumb point to the left. it looks kind of like when a king or queen sticks their hand out for someone to kiss it. i know it might sound stupid, but its a good visual for you to try. imagery is everything, and remember to slide your thumb down.
