Rejection GTs are something I’ve been trying for two years now. Here’s a compilation of all my attempts in a session. [https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWFnf2iIsyI/?utm\_medium=copy\_link](https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWFnf2iIsyI/?utm_medium=copy_link) ---

“I finally landed” Jade Whip and can actually hit it consistently. This was a trick that at first felt impossible for me since I used to avoid slacks. However, I land it wrong and can use some advice in landing the correct configuration. The pic is how I almost always end up, if I back my hand out of the loop I’m basically in a one hand trapeze on my thumb. Is it that I’m hitting the wrong side of the slack on the whip into the yoyo? Edit: Well I figured it out. I’m hitting the string right it was as simple as just turning my hand up to more of a fist. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/c/e/9ceff6f384cd0ddcc9cc73e523ab0c138959fb45.jpeg) ---

Calypso yesterday. Which…surprised me that I didn’t find it more difficult. But since I’d drilled so hard on Kwijibo maybe that’s what made it easier to stick. ---

After about five days of wrestling with it and being crazy frustrated…and untying oh so many knots. I finally managed to land “Bouncy Castle” this evening. Also my first serious green triangle trick I’ve landed. ---

I finally got brent-stole down at least hitting more than randomly once - at least to about 50% now and more than that when I know that my string tension is good (turns out is a huge factor go figure) ---

Most likely you’re hitting the wrong ‘side’ of the loop I had the same problem (I think) transposed from when I was learning the plastic whip the string section would be behind the yoyo instead of in front (in your case right side instead of left) I just learned this recently and I aim with my thumb to try to get the left side of the whip in and likely its hitting the ‘right’ side of the whip or the outer part. Though I didn’t run into this on the jade whip since I have done the plastic whip too many times at this point The only way I saw that though was no kidding filming it in slow motion to try and see what the whip looked like so thats always an option to try! ---

Took me a couple of tries and adjusting string tension once or twice but I actually landed it on video.

A good way to practice is to hold the yo-yo in your hand and practice the wip that way! 🙂 ---
