Try shortening your string. It will make you more accurate.

yeah, make the string shorter. since your just starting out, I would put the string on the yoyo, drop it down to the group d and stretch the string and cut it at about belly buttons length.  
also, practice throwing the breakaway and then do a breakaway into an around the world. after you get that down, straight and consitant, then start putting your non throw hand at your side at about belly button height as well and practice trying to land the trapeze.

keep practicing and don’t hesitate to come back if you still need help. keep us updated on your progress! 🙂
