Mario & Luigi… Can do the whole trick, but can’t open the gap wide enough for the second entry into the wrist mount. Any tips? I know small hands probably isn’t a problem, but really struggle to get the string away from my hand so I can drop the yoyo through into the mount. ---

I haven’t tried this trick yet but I saw this text and pic @mable left in another post about wrist mount and it helped me and I think is relevant ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/f/c/8fc21c5ab00db2461f80b7aa712dddeaea5013ce.jpeg) This is the text @mable wrote copy pasted — The trick to hopping it in is just to increase the size of the string gap. Having your fingers be extended outwards towards your NTH is what you want, not spreading your fingers wide as you would with normal chopsticks stuff. Spreading your fingers further apart like you would for chopsticks only makes this movement harder. Also this extra wrap around the TH middle finger lets you push the string all the way to the tip of the finger, instead of being stuck around the middle knuckle. ---

I just started working on White Buddha today. It’s weird I remember looking at this trick a few months ago anc passing on it because it looked too hard. As time has gone on I forgot about it. It seems alot more manageable now. I like the way it flows alot, very cool trick. I like to learn tricks that I can on both my freehand one and unresponsive yoyo. Paul Escolar made so many good tricks. ---

1.5 whip and follow, both have eluded me but I’m starting to hit them now. Also getting better at shoot the moon and can get about 3-5 in a row if everything is lined up properly. Just need to keep practicing until they are second nature. 🤗 ---

pull starts to dna. getting much better at it that way instead of the hop to my finger from a horizontal throw. still its just to be able to do dna on the rare chance I get a request. jade whip is getting better more consistent. learned a simple 1.5 mount to gt from @yoyo_cubicle at NER saturday. starting to get the hang of it now… ---

Got a speedaholic xx and now throwing horizontal and popping to a fingerspin is way easier, and i figured out how to gyro flop it to my middle finger from docpops original trick. It feels good to be able to combo to that and a tornado bind finisher… been going from skin the gerbil to a jedi flip to gyroscopic flop to fingerspin and bind. Still not comfortable with fingerspins in just a flat cup, really prefer a dimple right now. Skyva is pretty good, But docpops icarus is working for me ok. And i can manage to carefully pull start my diorama with ul se’s. Stupid fingerspins… i am enjoying them now, lol. ---

2.0 hook - I can do it 1 out of every 8/10 times at this point. I feel like every hook I learn ( 1.0, beefhook, etc) is like a month of my just flailing my arms about and randomly hitting it. Then one day it clicks and I’m hitting it 9/10 times ---

Came across “Pandora” and thought it looked really cool and fun to learn, welp wouldn’t ya know I’m stuck on the first part already. I can hook all day long, trying to add the other hand into the equation is hard for whatever reason lol. Anyone know this trick or I guess better question, how to two-hand hook? Any tips?

Yeah this is a mount you can land in when you mess up 2.0 hooks so I’m very familiar. its basically 1.5 hook with an extra finger in it. If nth index drops out thats the mount you end after 1.5 hook. can you 1.5 hook? ---

No and that’s where it’s confusing too, cuz he’s saying it’s just a simple hidemasa hook with the other hand involved, but it definitely seems like it’s more of a 1.5 hook motion ---

It is easier bc you can just put your hands together and do h-hook just try that and see if you can get to that mount like don’t think you need to be able to do 1.5 to get there [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-trick-are-you-working-on-pre-2025/57231.md?page=110) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-trick-are-you-working-on-pre-2025/57231.md?page=112)
