Yoyoing where the string isn’t tied to your finger.  
Attached to a counterweight.

You already made a thread for 1A yoyoing, ask about 5A there.

5A is where the yoyo is sleeping but there is no spilt knot around your finger, but a counter wheight.

5A Yo-Yoing is when you play with the Yo-Yo without it on your finger.

Counterweights are what goes on the part where your finger would be.

5a yoyoing is when you have a counterweight attached to the string instead of putting it on your finger. You can buy counterweights here: [http://yoyoexpert.com/product/duncan/counterweights/](http://yoyoexpert.com/product/duncan/counterweights/)

EDIT: dang, jamfan beat me to it.
