Looking to learn how to do this trick. Do I need a specific yoyo to do this trick? like something with hubstacks? I dont actually know the name of the trick but the title should explain it. In more detail, its like spinning a basketball on ur index except with a yoyo.

You toss it horizontally…

Then you catch it on your finger…

Look at Takeshi Matsuura 1a worlds 2012.

Yea that video is exactly what Im looking for. Can u do it with any yoyo? Or is it better to find a yoyo with a flat Outer inner surface (er the inside of the outer yoyo?) or maybe a slightly grooved center?

you can do it with yoyos that don’t have matador spikes, or open hubs. the Darksonic has a little dent in it made specifically for that trick. but it’s not the only throw out there that you can do that with
