Hey guys I just recently started 4A and I love it but was wondering if anyone had any helpful advice. I’m watching videos and I can already throw a few side style tricks but I’m having trouble with front style and spin time, I’ve been throwing since 09 but just mainly 1a and a lil 5a but this feels like a whole nother ball game.

Topspin (forwards) or backspin?
Either way, you can do anything you want to gain spin on a throw, as long as it’s smooth. For a crazy amount of power, I like to throw almost downwards, pull back with my throwhand, and pull down on the string with my NTH. As long as you do it smoothly, the yoyo will come off with a lot of spin.
Of course, you have to learn to align the yoyo with the string to maintain that spin, but that comes with time.
