Throw how it feels right for you. There is no rule that says you need to throw a breakaway. If you WANT to throw a breakaway, and need tips, you want to start with your arm higher, and directly at your side to prevent that tilt. Then it’s just practice until you have a straight throw. I’m 32 and been playing with yoyo’s for longer than you’ve been alive, but my breakaway is almost never completely straight. Still having fun though! ---

Here’s a video that helped me out when I was first learning. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/1/2/412b3db9d19f8f6c1646955fe6dcb10620d87e6e.jpeg "How To Throw A Yoyo Breakaway (Like A Pro)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtwFWznXJPk) ---

You look pretty skilled and fast from the front style. Nice! Learning to throw from a breakaway will only serve to open up your game!! Keep at it, looking good!! ---

Honestly, it’s up to you. You can continue using the front style throw for side style tricks like @Mazdarx7FD, but learning the breakaway will help you later especially when you decide to get into horizontal. ---
