Default "Spinning" Klinkhammers

I have just progressed to tying klinks.
When I fished them for the first time on thursday, I noticed that the tippet ends up twisting when casting. The flies sit beautifully on the surface, but when I bring it back in and hold aloft, out of the water, it spins round to un-twist the tippet.
Just after advice on what I am doing wrong?
As a beginner, i think they are quite fiddly to tie, and was pleased with my first attempts, apart from this spinning in the air.

Thanks in advance,
Gary

It could be either the hackles/wing post are a bit to long, or the tippet is to fine/soft.

Another reason could be too much false casting

Cheers
