I am very interested in looping but I can only loop with a fixed axle or a huge knot at the end of the yoyo. How do people just do single loop method, and loop.  
Everytime I throw the yoyo out, it sleeps, it’s that easy. So how can I loop it. I can do Forward Pass but not a loop. My record is 40+ loops on a fixed axle.

Depending on the yoyo:

- Close the gap
- Lube the bearing.
- most anything to increase the response

I use one duncan sticker on my raiders. Some people mod them to close the gap.  
Raider Ex has different sized spacers to set the gap.
