uuuuhh… I think you did something wrong with your post…Are you new? If you are, the welcome!

First, with you post, you should have written inside your post in the box instead of making a poll. Just state the problem in the box, and we will post all of our advice.

On trapeze, you must either be missing the string after it loops around your finger, or it is shooting back to your hand.

It mainly just takes practice. Although, if it is shooting back up to your hand, then it is probably to responsive. Correct me if I’m wrong, but is the Reflex a looping yoyo? If it is, I suggest going to the nearest Walmart or online store to buy a Mosquito. This should really help you get through the beginner tricks.

Hope I helped! ;D

Yeah, when you make a thread, click “New Topic” not “Post new Poll”

Try keeping the yoyo closer to your finger. If the yoyo only has an inch to go, compared to four or five it will be easier… and practice… ALOT
