Yes it’ll make it spin less. Change your string if it has knots in it. ---

The main problem with knots is that knots get in the way for more advanced tricks. It is hard to tricks to land tricks like Tyler Severance’s mini ninja vanish when the knots are where the yoyo needs to land. ---

Get the knot out as soon as you see it. If you have a lot of knots that you can not get out, change the string. Strings are not meant to be kept forever. They’re disposable. ---
