Okay folks. I know I have not been in yo-yo too long. I’ve been practicing all week. Just throwing it and practicing my binding. The binding I’m pretty decent at. I’m trying to get more fluid with it and sometimes the string doesn’t fully wrap around and it leaves extra so I’m working on.
My biggest problem is I have five yo-yos and I can’t throw any of them. Perfect! I’ve never been able to throw any of them with no vibration. No vibe at all. They always have like a little bit of vibe or a lot of vibe and you can smooth it out by taking your fingernail and touching it and it spins perfect. I don’t know if that’s a string issue or a throw issue. Maybe a thicker string can help with that?
I know I’m new and yo-yo’s taking practice but I didn’t think it would be difficult to throw a yo-yo down smooth

It’s most likely technique and not the equipment. Keep practicing.

I have the same issue with the netrunner, none of my others yoyos i have an issue with. wonder why lol. if i really concentrate and throw light its smooth though. also while playing it goes away so it’s not a big deal

it’s from am imperfect throw and it’s nothing to worry about. at no point in time does a trick depend on a perfectly smooth throw and your throw will smooth out over time. correct tilt after your throw if necessary, otherwise ignore it

@bznalcapone Does it do it the same on your forward throw and your breakaway or just the breakaway?

I have not really practiced the breakaway yet. I’m just doing forward throws but every yo-yo I have. Six yo-yos and every time I throw forward on any of them there’s vibration on all of them. Sometimes it’s a lot. Sometimes it’s not a lot. I know it’s my technique but man I’ve been practicing for hours everyday. I just want a perfect throw and I can’t figure it out.

Yeah. I wouldn’t worry about it. It’ll come. Try not to think about it and just throw.

So is that the park and I came home and I’m like okay I got to figure this out. I’ve been practicing all week but what I’ve noticed is when I hold the yo-yo in my hand to throw it forward. I move my thumb out of the way and I kind of just hold it in my palm with my three fingers.
But what I’ve noticed is if I hold the yo-yo and I put my thumb on one of the rings and I throw it and release it and using my thumb as a guide to hold it I’m actually getting far better throws very little vibe and actually I threw it a few times and I had zero vibe.
The one thing I’m trying to learn is to do better binding. I want to try doing more smooth binding cuz I’m watching these videos where they throw it down and they bind it but the professionals do it. So fluidly and I’m over here throw it down, wrap the string, pinch it drop and pull up and it’s just so boring.
I need to start watching some videos so I can do like cooler binds so it just doesn’t look so stupid
