._.ShortFingersNoFun

So I’m working on this part
and essentially I’m at the part where you put the slack under and around the string
but my issue here is I have shorter fingers and my thumb doesn’t bend the way his does so I have to figure out a different way to hold the slack which causes a little twist in the string which it makes it uncomfortable to swing the yoyo through the hole between my index and thumb ( It also makes putting the slack under the yoyo hard but I manage anyway)

Any tips? currently I curl my  th thumb around the string when creating the loop and rolling yoyo into the loop

:-\

I would post a video but i won’t show my issue LOL
