Ok so heres the situation-
I’ve been yo-yoing about 6 hours yesterday, and I found that my callous is cracking, what should I do???
Wear gloves.
good rule of thumb for just about anything especially a hobby if your having pain and there usually isn’t … take a break
I would if I have any
Just put down the yoyo, and back away s l o w l y …
Intervention time. Lol jk. Just take a break. Maybe try learning to throw with your opposite hand. xD
there ya go… learn to loop with the opposite hand…
It is so ironic because im a lefty
Haha, maybe put some tape over it? Maybe a band-aid? Just let it heal!
This has happened to me. Here’s what you do:
- When you go to sleep, put neosporin on the crack and put a band aid over the top. When you wake up in the morning, the crack will be substantially smaller than it was.
- For the next couple of days, when you throw, wear the tape of your choice over your callous.
- Repeat the neosporin band aid trick every night until your crack is healed.
- Once your crack is healed, stop wearing the tape, lest your callous disappear.
Hope that helps.
I just held the skin closed and put a drop of super glue on it. This works amazingly well, actually…
Wear a glove. Any snow glove cotton or nylon. Also it will stop happening the more you throw. I got that all the time. Now I never get it, except when doing boomerang or Offstring Boings.
I’ve tried yo-yoing with my right hand, but its so unnatural
Instead im going Severance and using my index finger
Be sure not to use it until it heals :).
I use this stuff called Lanolin. I take a Q-tip and I spread it on there and put a Band-aid on and leave it on 24-7. But, you should change it every few hours.
I’ve heard of people using superglue during contests if they have string burn. Not sure how well it works, or if its painful. I usually just use some athletic tape and that works just fine.
