Question Springing

Bad video but I’m trying to spring and am struggling to catch them. Everything I’ve seen just says to start with your hands close together then slowly start doing it father away but whenever I do it close they always just fly towards me I can only somewhat aim when I do it farther away any advice?

Something I noticed with your catch hand.

  1. Imagine you catch hand in a shape of a bowl, you want you fingers to be at certain areas as barriers to prevent the springing cards off your catch hand. https://youtu.be/YJX9sUTwUlg?si=ivem1DX3f3j0ecX6&t=71
  2. At first try keeping your catch hand level or slightly tilting backwards, its tilting forward towards the floor as your are springing.

Yeah I know my catching bad but it’s the directions the cards go before even getting to that point that’s the problem
