Start with a strong Sleeper.
- Lift the string
Lift the string with the index finger of your non-throw hand, curling your other fingers in.
- Bring your throw hand under
Move your throw hand underneath and place the yoyo against the string.
- Raise your index finger
Keep your throw hand still and raise your non-throw hand index finger. The yoyo is guided up the string as you lift.

Once the yoyo reaches the top, toss it up and over your non-throw hand index finger. It should come straight back to your hand.

Common mistakes
- Using an unresponsive yoyo
- Yoyo not climbing up the string
