SNAPS! make sure, when holding the muscle before you throw, to snap your elbow down, then snap your forearm down, then snap your wrist. ---

when you throw, look at the yoyo if it’s tilting. the next time you throw, compensate for the tilt until you find a comfrtable way to throw straight and strong. a good throw comes with time and practice so don’t fret now. ---

buy a proyo and throw it exclusively for a month (yes i’m serious). if you’ve got a 30 sec. sleeper with one (frontstyle or breakaway), your throw’s good. ---
