the issue: i am winding up my hayabusa correctly and everything (the string isnt looped around the yoyo, and does not have a knot), i have the largest gap size possible, but whenever i throw it, it always comes around my finger and lands in a dead front mount like it has a knot, instead of flying in the air and letting me catch it.
You need to throw harder to get it to come off. I have been experiencing the same kind of thing. Just go outside in a big area and chuck it out there. Make sure it hits your finger, or it will go flying. It should come off the string if you do that.
First, after winding it up just hold your throw-hand over your head and release the yo-yo. Donât throw it down, just let it drop. If it comes off the string that means youâre winding it correctly and itâs all in your throw. If not you might be winding it with too much slack or just too loose in general.
Make sure the throw is strong but you donât need to overdo it. Just as you release the yo-yo, bring your non-throw hand into the string and slowly âpush downâ to make the yo-yo go up. If you push away from your body the yo-yo will try to mount in a trapeze-ish thing.
Mostly, itâs all about the practice. Donât get discouraged â 4A is super fun! Throwing the yo-yo is half the battle and youâll have your first tricks down in no time!
