“Good” is super relative and I don’t know if I’ll ever feel like I’m good at yoyo. I will say I’m about to hit 1 year pretty soon and I’m finally starting to feel like a competent player. I have a ton of stuff to work on still like standing up straight and not making dumb faces when I play yoyo, but I can definitely do some tricks that impress my non-yoyo friends. They’re easily impressed by like eli hops and simple stuff tho. I look back at my old videos and I have definitely improved. I think just enjoy the journey and you’ll get there for sure. It takes everyone different amounts of time to learn things and feel comfortable with different stuff and it’s not a race.
