Not bad 🙂  
To me it looks like you’re using a far too long string. I would try shortening it by quite a bit.

overall a good trick, just when switching directions I would try to find a way to make it a bit smoother. Honestly atleast half the worth of a trick is who smoothly you do it.

The rule of thumb i learned was to adjust the length to the bellybutton. Still use that length almost 1 1/2 years later. Try it!

If your string it too long it just gets hard to work with IMO. I tend to use a slightly longer string when I throw, but I keep it reasonable.
