After learning 5A for a month, I found that it is important for yoyo players to learn different styles

General Yo-Yo

In 2024, I try to learn different 1A tricks per day. So I’d launched the Play yoyo everyday project.

But after 366 days, I found that my skill are not wide enough and so, I started trying learn 5A tricks on Jan25.

When I start to learn 5A, back to basic, I found that I had a lot of things I had forgotten as a new yoyo players.

E.g.

Yoyo setting(the weight between the counterweight and the yoyo weight, yoyo string length)

Importance for controlling the distance between string and yoyo

To be a good yoyo player, I think it is a good way to learn as many style as possible.

As it somehow can improve yoyo skill that you are not aware of.

This is my trick summary I learnt on Jan25.

Feel free to sub my Youtube/ IG - HKYoyoWing to watch my play yoyo everyday project :slight_smile:

I’ve been watching your vids and it’s been neat seeing your 5a elements. i recently started on 5a but I’ve still got so much to learn in 1a, but i plan to work on them both concurrently instead of one and then the other. i agree with you that it has helped learning other styles. they all have elements and skills that are transferable between styles. i think control is one of the top ones. the more ways you learn to control a yoyo the more comfortable the yoyo becomes as a versatile tool

I totally agree that learning other styles helps so much with standard 1a. Even throwing more responsive 0a tricks like stalls and such for fixed axle February has reminded me how important a delicate and controlled touch is. Some complex 0a tricks remind me of learning some harder slack elements; they both can require a similar gentleness. 3a has helped me understand plane control so much. There are many good lessons to be learned from all the styles! This is a cool project and have fun in the coming months!!

What a fun video. I’ve started very beginner 5A and am quite enjoying it. I really need to spend some time on it for sure.

Yes, Windmill Yoyo Trick AKA 5A Pinwheel already gave me a very hard time.
But I am so glad that I had made it after a week.
Originally, I thought that I may learn the infinity beestrings, but I not even can do it once haha
