Deck control issues: overflipping and underflipping

i noticed this thing come in when i got my first 2009 techdeck. the plastic one not the wood. its an alright deck, i rised the kicks to the YWZ1 shape height, its really good pop and stuff. harvey is really right (lol)

having used wider decks for awhile, i havent touched skinny decks for an ultra long time except for a BW reg replica a friend gave me. so i realised that when i received the deck and started riding it, it started overflipping ALOT. i mean it because the problem was not so severe when i was using the older molds. perhaps i am not 100% used to the skinny shape, but it kinda happens alot to me. what are your views guys? the current setup is techdeck with washers and springfield tuning plus riptape.

this issue for me only happens for horzontal flips like heelflip, inward , kickflip especiallly is a pain in the asshole.

so yea give me suggestions plz

put your pointer(index) finger up more on the board tell me if it helps.

if its not getting like any height of the ground and its over flipping it means that you slide of to quick so it goes down and spins fast
move your fingers up more to cover the board more and do more of an ollie

okay i gonna try it i will reply soon thanks

sorry for double post. works by a little bit. any other suggestions? significant improvement on wide decks, but not much on a techdeck.

just get used to the techdeck and dont get as much air if possible but ya know just catch it in midair its easy just flip and olie high then catchthe board and bring it down simples

oh i got it. dam i realised i was going way too high . and the surface is a big matter because i realised it became like hell much better on a granite table than my wood table (idk what type of wood) because of the pop. any ideas of better flips to grinds with techdeck? i am slowly getting used to the shape right now

lol the deck u mean isit my deck?

no no techdeck 09
