Can you change...

YoYoFactory has a nice little booklet that comes with the Velocity, it gives you some basic tips. You’ll understand a lot better once you start throwing. Check out Andre’s videos on the Learn section and you’ll get it.

Check out the five styles of play. After you get past the beginner tricks, everything we’ve been telling you will make more sense.

Mostly, the beginner and intermediate tricks are done with a responsive or semi-responsive yo-yo.
1a string tricks are normally done with an unresponsive yo-yo.
2a and looping tricks are done with a responsive yo-yo.

As a beginner, you’ll probably turn your dial all the way to easy, and after getting the feel for it you will start experimenting.

Bro, I swear your some kind of yoyo Jesus coming to the rescue. Thanks. I’m just really nervous that I am going to give up right away because I can’t figure something out or something. =/

My best tip for not losing interest in yoyoing is either to keep buying them, which is horribly inefficient, or keep practicing. Always try perfecting or learning new tricks, or you’ll get bored. Just be persistent, keep at it, and if you can’t figure something out, we’re all here to help.

Your the second yoyo Jesus! Thanks a lot. Yeah. Doing a trick is something. Then when I get bored, perfecting it is a whole nother thing.

Another good tip is to work on getting nice straight throws, with some power. Doing this early on will help down the road. ;D

Haha yeah, for sure. I was actually thinking of literally working out so I can throw a bit harder LOLOLOL that’s pathetic, but its an idea.

I agree with this. Despite my increasing collection, I tend to work in a small group of yoyos most of the time.

When I get bored, I change yoyos. But, at the same time, when I get rather proficient at a trick, I will also change yoyos to mix it up and ensure I do in fact know the trick and can perform it with most any yoyo I have. I will sometimes go with a “yoyo of the day”.

At the same time, sometimes stepping away for a day or two can be productive as well. Then again, maybe a bigger change is needed, and that’s why it’s cool that there’s 5 different yoyo styles. This gives you 4 other things to work with. If that doesn’t work, then there’s always spin tops, juggling, astro jax, diabolo, foot bags, kendama or get yourself a metal slinky(and not a jr, those aren’t any fun!) It’s all a matter of what is of interest to you and you can afford.

Hmm… that’s interesting… And a very good idea…
