You are lifting you NTH. It should say on the same level as your TH. In fact I don’t move my NTH at all. I swing the yoyo into the top string and pull my TH to keep the strings tight and help with the triangle display. ---

I’m pretty sure this is a Yuuki trick, it was definitely being done in 08/09. Regardless, I paired it with my favorite Zach GT from one of the Scout videos. ---

**Week 5 - Chop Suey** This week we’re going to do a fun intro to chopsticks with this repeater. As with most chopstick tricks, the key is hand formation. Nice big open “C” formation. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/f/e/afe994bc433d37198d7a249cfda993a9f97ca0f5.jpeg "Learn the 1A Chopsticks Repeater Yoyo Trick Chop Suey") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMymn8Rxrgo) The basic moves for this one are easier so if you get comfortable with it, here is a variation someone here on the forums came up with, or insert it into a chopstick combo. > [@"Chop Notch"](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/chop-notch/337369): > > Hey Throwers! I (think i) created a new trick. It’s a repeater and a variation of “Chop Suey”. I call it “Chop Notch”. You start with a Chop Suey Mount, Swing the Yoyo to the right, Underpass the outer right string landing in a One and a Half Mount, Swing the Yoyo to the left landing into the top string sliding down and to the right, then land in a Chop Suey Mount again. Does anyone know this trick yet? It’s not that innovative, so i might not have “invented it”; basically it’s a smooth way… As always, if you have trouble just give a shout. Good luck, have fun, be creative, and have a great weekend! ---

there’s also the very similar chopstick chop, where instead of flipping and catching, you let the yoyo wrap around [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/5/9/459210c7ce81a94b29d6cb9d528335fc5c6e1235.jpeg "Chopstick Chop by Jason Lee") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPO5obYHR8U) ---

The initial step feels cool and like you’re gonna start a trick, but then you just exit back to trapeze in the most uncomfortable way possible. Trying to force a chopstick exit to trap when you’re already in trap just feels kinda weird to me, like I don’t understand what the point is. So it’s simultaneously uncomfortable and feels pointless to me since it’s not transitioning to a new mount. Just responding to the question, no shade to anybody who likes this trick. What tricks you like doing are all personal preference at the end of the day. ---
