I’m landing Spirit Bomb, but not well. I am having trouble with the 2nd hop. The Triangle is not forming well. Here is a video. Any help would be great!

You REALLY have to get the strings in the right place on your throw-hand in order to open up that triangle for the second hop.

Maybe my top-down video will help:

try not to let the yoyo top out, or reach tension during the second hop. By not letting it hit the top the triangle will be natrually bigger by a little finesse and shifting/setup. But if you hit the top and that string gets tight, it will pull the triangle smaller making it harder to shoot though. Kendama knees can help.
