Hi guys.

I recently bought the Magic YoYo N11 and did not know it was un-responsive. I tried to bind and cannot do it! I can do it easily when I throw a normal throw, but when I do a backhand throw, it just knots and doesn’t work. What do I do?

Thanks in advance.

if by backhand throw you mean breakaway throw - you need to bind upside down (from a undermount, not from trapeze).

having said that, you can put thick lube inside of a bearing and make it somewhat responsive.

you’re binding with the direction of the spin of the yoyo. Try the other side to bind from.

Yeah, just bind from the other side
