> [@bingo](#): > > any suggestions? take it apart and make sure the string isnt double looped or anything. put it back together and put the string back on. if it still responds right away, just throw some hard around the worlds to try to break it in. if it still doesn’t want to sleep we can continue to troubleshoot edit: to be clear this is provided you arent using thick string as Brandon pointed out ---

Also also to add: be sure when you are putting string on to open the loop up real big and slide the whole YoYo into the loop. A common issue is taking the YoYo apart to slip the loop over the axle/ bearing / sleeve/ whatever and then reassembling. This more often than not can lead to the string getting trapped between the body and bearing (or whatever it is in your yo) and it absolutely will never sleep like that ---

Hi! I’m **catix** , an internet cat! You can refer to me with [mirrored pronouns](https://en.pronouns.page/mirror), or ‘they’ and ‘them’. My wife has been into yo-yos for many years and introduced me to these spinning little weapons on a string just a month ago. 😄 My yo-yos are a Throwman Classic, Onedrop Legendary Terrarian, Onedrop/Spingear American Metal Spingadget, Spingear Looping Star, and Onedrop Deep State. I’m into responsive and looping yo-yos currently 🙂 🐈 :heart: ---

Life’s sorta gotten in the way so I haven’t had the time or space to throw much in the last few years. I always planned to come back to it eventually though. ---

Howdy all, Coz here. I was shopping with my wife for Christmas presents when we stopped by a local toy & game store. The display of yo-yos caught my eye, so I had a nice chat with a young man about the current state of yo-yodom. He showed me some tricks on an unresponsive yo-yo. So an Atom Smasher will be be showing up in my stocking! In the mean time, I dug up my Tom Kuhn No Jive 3-in-1s (original and mandala), purchased in the early 1980’s if my memory is correct (yes I’m an old fart) but dormant for 40 years or so. Working on a perfect sleeper to get started! ---
