hint 2: the tutorials don’t make it clear that you need to angle your strings a bit. They make it seem like you just pull out to the side. If you do that, you’ll flop but it’s unpredictable which way and when or when you lose it. But if you angle the strings just a little bit, you get instant consistency.
When you see in videos that they’re looking into the gap and “chasing” the flop, it’s because they’re working to keep the angled strings at relatively the same angle throughout so that it flops evenly and steadily.
Might seem “obvious” for some people (or you might have a different tutorial) but it took me months to figure out why my flops weren’t good like other people’s. :wink:

Practice your loop whip first, then when you get that down go for the trick. Key hint is to wait to thrust your throw hand forward like they tell you in the tutorials untill you feel the whip loop touch the TH string.
So it goes like this…
Whip
Feel loop touch other string
Quickly thrust TH string forward, but only forward to yoyo gap.

If you download the youtube videos with a flash video downloader add-on in FireFox, you can then watch them with VLC Media Player with geometry effects so that it will display a right handed thrower as a left handed thrower. You can also loop the video, or slow it down/speed up with the + and - keys on your keyboard.

Probable points of failure
1. You’re forgetting to curl your finger in before hopping the yoyo off
2. You need to hop forward then around (between the formation and your body), not the other way around. And re-land on the WHOLE formation.
3. After landing back on, do the underpassy-thing counter-clockwise (as a right-handed person) and then do the forefinger untwist in the correct direction also!
There are a LOT of opportunities to just do something in the wrong direction. You’re probably just doing one or more of them backwards.
If in doubt, just step through the video piece by piece.

I been working on yellow airplanes. Anyone got some advice for the slack part after the first kamikaze mount?
Also, I need some help with magic drop. Yeah, I can’t get the stringvg to reject no problem, 100%, but I just can’t figure out how to get it to land on the back string (closest to the body) when I want. I always just seems to land on both strings at the same time. Any good advice on how to get this to work more In my favor everytime? I’ve watched multiple vids and just can’t get it. Thanks!
