Send a video attempt if you can
Hmm… yeah, need a vid if you can. I tend to think of it as an “unwinding” motion…

Ok this is a pretty accurate representation of what happens…
Also realizing I’m wearing the same shirt as the last time you helped me out with a video and it’s not the best background for white string. Tried to move out of the way enough though to see the string.

Yep i see the problem and it should be an easy fix i think! you did all the hard work already. You skipped the pinch where you should let the slack fall down and under the yoyo part, right after the chopsticks. Without the pinch, the string is going over the top of the yoyo and it’s not going to resolve right. I tried to capture a screenshot that shows what i mean but double back to the vids and check out how we pinch before releasing the string and then how it falls in front and under.

Ohhhh in that POV shot you filmed for me, are you doing the pinch using the middle finger on your NTH?

Here’s a dodgy video, hopefully this helps…

That video is super helpful, thank you! The last hurdle I’m grappling with at the moment is once I pop into a GT, I keep getting this extra wrap that halts me from getting out.

I can’t tell if that’s a twist or part of the red triangle… here’s a screen grab:
I have a little twist looking thing going on, but when you drop all the strings you don’t end up with knots… are you getting axel knots when dropping the strings?

Yeah just echoing what was said before but it looks good i think. Im fairly certain but I’m not 100% sure. It isn’t a green triangle but a red triangle, so yeah just drop it and it’ll end with no knots or anything. You can get into a rt to check and see if it seems the same super easily by throwing a trapeze, and then reach nth through and grab the string by th.
Ok ya looking back at that photo I can see how my string would unwind and not knot up if I drop it. Time to crank the Spotify and lock this one in.
There’s been a few times I thought it was safe to drop, and for some reason it dropped into your typical GT bearing knot even though I had the twist. I didn’t examine it too closely though, it’s possible the twist was the wrong way.

@GTDropKnot @Ironical_Monocle1 Alright gentlemen! I’ve now successfully done it 3 times. It’s not purrrty, but it’s honest work! Thank you guys so much for taking the time to hold my hand through that one.
