I split my fingers for every trick i do and my kites don't wander, but for this trick it always heads for 12. I'm thinking that perhaps i stall out the full rotation too early and perhaps put too much pressure on my front hand too early... suggestions?
Keep more pressure on your leading hand before take off. If you really have problems consciously turn the kite down with that lead hand before taking it off the bar. Another tip is to actually have the kite moving down slightly on take off, even if you have the kite low but straight it will always have a tendency to turn up.
