I’m having problems doing the undermount sorta thing in the beginning. Its just after you stick your finger out and its before you sorta get into braintwister. Can anyone help?

After you’re in Split the bottom mount, use your left finger(if you’re right-handed) go forward, then use your right finger come backwards, then roll like a brain twister.

Try this…when the string is over your nonthrow hand index finger swing the yoyo away from you then use the momentum of it swinging back towards you to get into the split bottom mount. This helped me when i was learning. As you get the feel for the motion of it you will be able to do away with the swinging and just go straight into it.
