I got it down, but it still feels weird to me. It is the first arm trick I learned, and after landing it, I got motivated to check out this other easy one I saw recently (Slingshot GT) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/5/b/b5be065d3da46b45790a64cff213cbf6f7105426.jpeg "TaW 24 - #4 - Flow Boaty") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok2ka8p0wHE) ---

Been working on flow boaty a little. I got it just gotta smooth it out better. That last part where you gotta catch it in your arm is awkward at first. I haven’t learned many tricks like this and the turtle trick. Good picks. ---

Ooo yah that last outside wrist part it’s definitely funky at first! I was struggling tbh until I realized I can kinda move the string to catch the Yoyo instead of trying to land the Yoyo on the string. Idk why but when I started thinking about it like that, my consistency went up! Maybe that helps! Idk good luck! Glad you’re enjoying learning the tricks! 🤙 ---

I think I know what you mean. The issue I have been having is staying consistent with landing it in one fluid motion. Sometimes I will sometimes I won’t. Hoping the more I do it the more comfortable it will come. It’s such an awkward position to have your arm contorted in. ---
