I’m becoming fairly proficient and normal play and I want to start messing around with horizontal. I have a lot of throws to choose from, but that’s not my question right now. My question is where do I start with horizontal? Are there any good tutorials out there for beginning this? I really don’t know how to start. ---

Next question: Code 1, Code 2, Dietz, Sas, Chief, Facade, Wrath, Viszilla, Sceptre, PGM, dv888, ywet, gfunk, overhaul? ---

Get one of those, I assure you, you will not be disappointed. I’ve got them both. I think I’ll start with the Code 2. I really appreciate the help. Horizontal intimidates me. ---

Don’t be intimated. It’s actually super easy. Just make sure you’re throwing right. ---

Being new you at horizontal need a yoyo that has great direction changing ability. I would suggest the Chief or the code 1. And not to promote but the wrath is in the same light category and was built for it. Being new its a challenge to maintain heavier yoyos horizontal, It makes you feel like you have to rush and be fast when it almost the opposite. Also, try throwing the yoyo at a tiny angle and do your normal tricks. Then, keep tilting your throw more and more and you will soon feel normal with horizontal.
