Okay, folks, I have a question. I need to start practicing breakaways now. The videos that I watch you kind of throw the yo yo to the side but professionals throw it different. But I can’t find a video of how to throw a breakaway professional style that isn’t really fast. I’m looking for any videos, tips. Tricks anything you guys can offer and how to throw a breakway professional style or how you throw it? If you have a video you want to show me? I’ve been watching a lot of gentrystein, and I think the dude is phenomenal, and I wanna be good ---

Is it just me or is it crazy how many yo-yos you’ve bought/sold/gave options on/etc and you don’t know how to do a breakaway or bind. I’m not trying to be mean but it just seems like you’re putting your cart before the horse here ---

None taken, but I can bind, and I can breakaway but I don’t like the side throw breakaway and I want to learn how the pros do it or a better way. The side breakaway is corny imo so I’m trying to learn the pro way so I can get my tricks going. You can’t offend me in anyway. I’ve had a hard life so anything you say is perfectly fine. I dont read into anything. I do admit over the last 4 months I have bought 20 yoyos sold 5 and just purchased 3 more one already came and 2 more shipped. Ive had a rough year with depression and all the medications I got put on just to have insane side effects or allergic reactions I told my doctor yesterday dont put me on anymore I will handle it on my own. So to get back on track. I am 100% dedicated to start learning everyday. I just want to learn a better breakaway. There is always better ways to do things. That side breakaway can’t be the only way there has to be an easier faster way and a cooler way. ---

FWIW, I spent a year-ish throwing breakaways the “wrong” way :joy: I only realized watching a Diego B tutorial that I might be throwing it weird. I was basically throwing it like a 4A throw, but sideways. Took a while to unlearn. Still do it out of habit sometimes. So never a bad idea to go back to basics now and again! ---

Yeah, I think that’s the best bet. I’m gonna go back to the basics. I’m gonna relearn everything I did. Do a boomerang today, so i’m actually pretty proud of that. That’s a hard trick to learn, because my brain was really not picking it up. Gotta be honest with you. I’m not really a fan of the skills Addicts app while it’s a cool app, it’s not my favorite. I’m gonna start looking at the learning here on the yoyo expert ---
