My yoyo keeps on landing on my throw hand string. I try to use my thumb to hold the string back, but it won’t work. :-\\ ---

when you have the yoyo hanging off your NTH pointer, dont move it. everything from that point on is the TH’s movement. Pull a little with your TH to make the yoyo swing up, and when it comes back down it should use its own momentum to swing over the NTH pointer onto the string. i’ve noticed that VERY much of yoyoing is done with the TH, and not the NTH.
