Thanks @GTDropKnot and @rickyyR for the videos and suggestions. I’m able to slowly get through most of it (except the dismount). I think what is frustrating me the most is that I’m starting to feel my age. Muscle memory is taking sooo much longer to kick in than when I was younger, reflexes are noticeably slower, etc. Thanks again for all your help and listening to my existential yoyo crisis 🤣. ---

Here are some tips about not snagging in general from @EOS44: - Make sure your yoyo bearing isn’t already scratchy and snaggy - Manage how taut the string is during the whole trick ---

Looking good so far! I worked on this all week, but I need a few thousand more reps. I appreciated that it was simple enough to learn the steps, but I am still working on getting that smooth movement from the pinwheel onto the string. ---

That’s really close! You just need to do the slide he is showing at 1:08 in the tutorial. Try to keep your string really taut by keeping your hands apart and avoid creating slack between your hands. The dismount and hitting the string will be much easier if you are closer to your TH index. ---

**Week 25 — Toya Kobayashi Triangle Trick** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/2/c/32c03ca8f6fbc6cf8f1532263e9abaa76f92cbe2.jpeg "[ヨーヨートリックチュートリアルNo.20] Toya Kobayashi選手のコンボ") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ_Vxd6Gdog) Yoooo! This week we have a super fun trick with lots of good yocabulary baked in. This trick is also has a some easy ways to modify it, if the trick is a bit beyond your grasp at the moment. The trick starts with a double hook (Iwasawa Hook) but can also be done out of a regular Hidemasa Hook as an option. Y’all can also just work on the double hook. A double hook is not much harder than normal Hidemasa Hook so don’t be too intimidated if that element is new to you. If y’all do not know classic Hidemasa Hook (1.0), yo, now is the time! There is no prerequisites to being able to do that element besides being able to throw a breakaway sleeper and it’s one of the elements I feel more comfortable teaching people so please, ask any and all questions you have! As always, have fun and good luck!!! > **Double Hook Tutorial** > > [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7GYmhcC4nU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7GYmhcC4nU) > **Hidemasa Hook Tutorial** > > [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xr9IXacPx0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xr9IXacPx0) ---

Alright here is the trick! It took me forever to figure out how to not have a huge long pause between releasing the slack and pinwheeling the yoyo into the slack. Like the slack kept following the yoyo and wasn’t working right. I went back to the tutorial and watched Toya do it some more and realized that they both move the yoyo with nth to the outside when they release the slack and adding the momentum to the slack in that direction before pinwheeling the yoyo around helps keep the slack from following the yoyo so that the yoyo can come around and kabink nicely into the string! Still might work on the trick more but I was happy to figure that out. ---

Thanks for including some easier options and offering to help! I am learning the single hook. When I land it about every 5-10 attempts, I try the next part with the elbow. But I keep ending up with the yoyo on top of the string with a twist by my finger instead of on the underside to swing it back on top. Do you think I’m doing the hook wrong or missing something from the next part? ---

When you do the hook you should unroll one time and then be in an undermount. I would just focus on the hook part and make sure that is all cooking well so you can unroll and then bind or do whatever else. For the arm part, you’re just kind of pulling a string out of the gap and the Yoyo should then fall down. It’s hard to diagnose exactly without a video but if you you do the 1.0 hook and roll around nth, you should be in an undermount and that’s how your know everything is working correctly.
