Hi, so i just got a yoyo for 2a and i got it set up and just have a few questions.

1. What string is best for 2a, cage free?
2. How long should the string be, mine is a little shouter than my belly button. is that ok?  
and 3. When I do hop the fence the yoyo only spins for just about 3 of them.  
oh and I have the oracle yoyo.  
Thanks.

Yo this is a great place to look for 2a stuff.

Cage free will work fine w/ your oracle for 2a. each time you hop the fence it should be regenerating the spin so each repetition is like a new throw… might let the rest of the 2a ppl answer this but check out this thread.^

Also nice! Congrats! 2a is super fun!

My string goes to about midway up the thigh, but I’m tall. IIRC, Adam had a default string length rec in this vid:

For Hop the Fence you should be able to keep the yo-yo spinning indefinitely because you regen the spin on every hop.
