hey guys,  
I’ve been struggling with doing sideways tricks, I am either not fast enough, or dont have the right momentum and usually finding the yoyo spinning out and doing like a UFO kinda thing. Is there any special way that you can do it?

Practice banana turnovers. Once you get comfortable with the throw it gets easier.  
I personally do think speed helps. The momentum prevents spinning out.  
Maybe practice the throw with a responsive yoyo, then work on the turnover, then I would move to bro slack, and then roulette. You will get it.

for horizontal, always keep the yoyo moving.
