A good habit to get into is to bring your hands together a little bit when you are hitting the yoyo into the top string, this allows the yoyo to push up the top string and go over you pointer landing in a nice one and a half mount. another method for getting into the mount is to throw a trapeze then take you throw hand pointer put it into the loop that is formed and pull you hands apart, this movement pops the yoyo into the one and a half mount as well. ---

I got just the thing. Basically you need to let the string slack a little bit so it doesn’t bounce off. Just practice that part and not with the through. Then you can through and bring it up to the part were the yo hits the string. Don’t worry about getting it smooth. Just practice mcbride rollercoaster and stuff like that and you’ll get into it smooth without even knowing it. ---

When I was learning 1.5s, it seemed that it was easier to position my hands so there is an angle in the string and it’s not completely horizontal. Kind of hard to explain. ---

Generally, keep your throw hand lower than your non throw hand. Is that the angle you are refering to? ---

give some slack when it hits the top string, it should then fall into the mount nicely… the key is givng the slack at the right time ---

When ur doing a half mount when it hits the string just tilt the yoyo and string to where you swung it hope it helps 🙂
