> What are all the ways y’all restart a dead Yoyo? What’s your go to and what are any fancy ones you know? I usually do the one where nth holds the string and th thumb starts the spin and I recently decided I should learn the one handed snap start. I oddly get more spin snap starting but it’s not nearly as stable yet…and I don’t know how to chain it into a bind as smooth as the other way. I also want to say the engineers wind up is underrated and should be the first thing any beginner learns.

there were a lot of fun examples of restarts posted in this thread.

I just snap start though, I used to palm start until I started playing a lot of 5A. Palm starting with a counterweight in your hand feels bad. Palm starting used to feel lower effort to me, but now snap starting feels lower effort since it only takes one hand.
