Hello,  
I am having difficulty catching the counterweight. It always wraps around my hand/finger/wrist and i cant unravel it when doing a trick. It always messes up my trick and its is so annoying!

How do you do it?

You pretty much have two choices. Assuming you are doing a 360-like trick, keep the yoyo closer to your non-throwhand or bring your throwhand farther away from the yoyo. It actually takes more practice than one might think.

Good luck
