Mach whips are probably my favorite thing to do. Pinching the string is really important, though its possible to do it without it. I always add a little wrap to the outside of my pointer finger (like a sideways plastic whip) to help whip the string. When I was learning, I’d make a greater motion with my hand towards the yoyo, really leading the whip into the gap. Jade and Iron whips need practice. It’s all about gripping the string the right way and aiming it down into the gaps. For me, Jade whips are x10 easier than Iron Whips. ---
