I’ve been contemplating trying out Hydra style for a while now (2 yoyos connected to one string, as described here: [Styles Of Play | YoYo Wiki | Fandom](http://yoyowiki.org/wiki/Styles_Of_Play)). Just one problem. How would you mod the string to have normal loopies on both ends?? ---

You could untwist the string, center the finger loop, then re-twist. This would allow for regular loops at each end, but would give you a loop in the middle ---

Ahh, Hydra is also known as A-Squared Basically, cut two strings about halfway (maybe slightly more). Tie the fraying ends together, cut off the excess, and you have a Hydra String :wink: > [@KAPcom](#): > > You could untwist the string, center the finger loop, then re-twist. This would allow for regular loops at each end, but would give you a loop in the middle If you mean untie the knot at the top, it wont work because it cannot be loosened and tightened as the bottom can.
