Okay so I’m not the best at arm stuff like this either but a couple tips that helped me is to push your elbow forward like towards the center line of your body and to mount the Yoyo close to your finger. Also move nth closer to th. Basically you want your arms closer. It is definitely awkward but feels less and less awkward the more you play with the element.
Also, y’all can definitely just try longer string to get more comfortable like there is nothing wrong with that and once it feels a less weird and uncomfortable, return to your typical length.
