I am right handed so I tried learning to use my left hand, that way its easier to learn 3a and 2a. Its like learning to throw and play yoyo again, feels really weird. For the most basic tricks I had to even watch André´s videos to learn them left handed. I cant even get a good breakaway.

Yes! It is hard. I tried to play with a powerbrain, and I couldn’t do it. Then after I got ok at throwing, I tried looping, and I hit myself in the neck. I haven’t tried since (that was two weeks ago).

I have to completely relearn yoyoing because i injured my right arm so badly i have to mainly use my left hand now. Now I’m pretty good, i can do a few master tricks, lots of expert, almost all the advanced, (can’t do boing-E-boing) and am now very comfortable with it.

Yes! It’s better with looping. Just plain hard for especially if all your 1a yo-yos are unresponsive.

I got a hyper extension from basketball, and because i yoyoed so much, i never got a chance to heal, and i can’t yoyo now because of how badly i hyper extended it. Now until it heals, (but more like if it ever heals) i can only yoyo lefty!!! On August 24 (or the 22, i forgot) i can yoyo righty again!!! (but only for four days :()

I have tried lefty, it’s exciting, like being a newb but with all my know-how of how to do things.
I wonder if I get good enough that I might make it feel natural rather than just thinking like Right handed but mirrored. haha :wink:

Since my left hand is kind of clumsy when I catch the yoyo, I got bruise in left hand. Now it hurts everytime I catch the yoyo.
