This throw a roll, is different than flicking your rope like a sine-wave. The roll hops over the branch, rather than 'dying out' at the limb you're trying to get over.
Once you get the throw a roll, you can throw a spiral-roll to get it to move left and right.
A steel biner and throw weight helps move your lanyard. You can clip, then tape the weight to the biner/ snap. This prevents it from coming off when clipping and unclipping (not something good to do with ground workers beneath. Not something I use frequently, but in the bag of tricks.

I just drag my spur up the tree slightly. Gives me extra "feeling", keeps my rope running across the top of my boot and not under spur, if not clipped to my hip and into my rope bag in back, and to prevent it from pointing at soft stuff, like my leg.
You can take your lanyard from hip d-ring to d-ring, under your feet, and sorta stand up. At least, from lower Rings at the end of the bridge.
Lots of throwing and manipulating throw line practice from ground level, and 2' up. Lots!
