It isn’t the same thing. :-  
You are creating the loop beforehand and swinging the yoyo into the formation. Tommy completely whips it into a wrist mount.

Kind of a misunderstanding, haha. Its still an awesome trick, and you did it REALLY smooth!

Thanks, but first, I have to practice whipping the yoyo to Wrist Mount.

I can’t get the vid to play at the moment, but does he whip into a one-handed wrist mount without  
touching the non-throwhand? Because I thought I was the creator of the wrist mount whip. Mine lands in both hands. (a wrist mount, but the non-throwhand finger is inserted in the mount; drop  
this off my nonthrowhand finger, and its a wrist mount.)

Yep. He throws a Breakaway, creates the loop around his hand, and the Yo-Yo flys through the loop onto the single string.

I watched the video now, and I see that. Its neat. I think it would look better if it were more of a laceration though. Maybe I’ll make a vid of my wrist mount laceration someday.
