It’s at least landing on or near the tip? I find throwing more SIDEWAYS and less DOWN helps me out.
But it also sounds like you’re not wrapping it right. You do a loop around the top part, or take the string through the grove, then take it down to the tip, with the top in your left hand(assuming you’re right handed), with the tip pointed to your right, wrap up and away so the string comes from the BOTTOM towards you and the up and over ad away from you. I think if you were to stare at it head on while wrapping, this would be clockwise. I should go wrap mine and then show you.
My throw still needs a lot of work. I’m working up to my Strummol8 Sophia!
