How do you do the very popular way of fixing string tension mid spin (unresponsive version) . I usually have to kill the yoyo and take the string off my finger to fix tension.

Dude, Brandon helped me out loads.  
I still do the basics like trapeze and pull the sting to sidewind the tension out.  
But this has pretty much all the info you’ll need from basic to pro :+1: I hope this helps :wink:
