I practiced with a normal unresponsive yoyo, I made responsive( I just got my worst bearing and over lubed it).

Are you good/proficient at looping? Looping well really helps with regens. Going all the way back to the basics is sometimes key. I was terrible at regens until I put all my unresponsives down and just started really killing old school loops with a Yomega Fireball.

Let the yoyo do the work. Wen I started working on them I tried to throw normally as it came around. The force of the yoyo coming up the string being redirected is enough. My advice is just start practicing and be gentle.
