That stinks, sorry to hear it.
If it’s your throw hand side you could pick up a mini Panzer and really hone your skills. You can really play this with just some wrist action.
If it your non throw hand, pick up something responsive and go at it!

Sorry to hear that. If you have a looper you could practice with your other hand

I’ve heard multiple people that did something to their throw hand started practicing their non-throw hand and got into 2A or 3A. So maybe try looping or doing 1A with your non-throw hand.

Hey when I broke my wrist a couple years ago I picked up a Kendama and learned left handed. That kept me busy for a while.

I dont know if this helps… but when I broke my arm I used responsive yo-yo’s but I don’t have expeirience with collarbones.
Hope you get better soon!

Get well soon,
One of my other hobbies when im not in mood for yoyoing is pen spinning but even after 1month of starting it i have learned only four tricks 😅
You can try it out it has the same feeling of hitting the trick with a yoyo kinda of,(not better than a yoyo ofcourse)
theres a lot of tutorials on youtube you can look up too!
just a suggestion tho 🙂

Damn, sorry to hear. I’m not sure what all your into but i’d probably draw more if I wasn’t yoyoing. Maybe play trading card games if your into that at all? Hope you heal up quick!
