Practice is the best solution. Just keep trying, and eventually, you will get them consistently.

Also, using a longer string helps with wrist whip.

Try to lead the string in, so when you whip it, you’re aiming the string towards the gap. For laceration, what I do is just move my wrist really quick, sending down a shock wave to direct the string into a loop, and my pointer follows.

Ah, in the beginning, you will get spaghetti string, it make sure it doesn’t twist, make your whiping motion wider and more pronounced so it doesn’t have the string get too close to each other. For Iron Whip, whip it fast in the beginning if you have this spaghetti string thing and it will prevent it a bit more.
