I can loop just fine. But with two hands my Dave Geigle Sunsets keep turning and they seem to be looping with the caps forward. It looks really sloppy. I’ve only been looping for a little less than a week, tips to keep the yoyo straight? 😛 ---

Loop for a little more than a week. You may think that’s me being a jerk, but thats all you can do is practice ---

Take a look at this: Shawn’s Looping Guides [http://www.yoyoing.com/shawn/guides/](http://www.yoyoing.com/shawn/guides/) ---

There isn’t a whole lot we can tell you… Looping is very different than 1A. It is not just watch a tutorial practice a little bit and you get it. It’s just one of those things that you have to practice alot to get. I feel your pain. It is VERY frusterating. But don’t get discouraged. You need to practice for week(s) to fully master this. But if you look at the bright side: If you master loops, the rest of 2A tricks are VERY easy. Good luck! Practice, Practice, Practice! Do NOT give up. ---
