Please Help!!! > I keep missing the string. yeah when i first tried it i either missed the string or when the yo came over my finger it was to close and hit it! try taking it slow, get ur none throw hand pointer about 3/4 inches away from the yoyo, and instead of going all the way over kinda stall it and bounce it a few times them go all the way over! hope that helps in bad at explaining things lol! ---

The closer your finger is to the yoyo, the easier it will be. ---

Before you are ready to land on the string, use your left hand to move up and you right hand to move forward, do it STRAIGHTLY!!! Happy Throwing! =] ---

Try letting the yo-yo swing into the mount, don’t worry if you do not get it the first time. Just don’t force the yo-yo into the mount, let the string that is hanging from your non-throwhand swing like if you were doing rock the baby, then intercept it with your throwhand an let the yo-yo swing into the mount. Hope this helps ;D ---

Trying to go smooth helps too. If you punch at it, its going to be really hard.
