I guess probably the most important thing you can do to lengthen your Revolutions is to line up your forearm so that it is basically exactly parallel to the trajectory of the yo-yo. It’s a very awkward motion to perfect, but just keep in mind to keep everything straight and you should see a steady improvement. Take some time to really study Gerard’s video ^ The closeup slomo shot at 1:15-1:32 was what really got it for me.
