Thanks bro. Actually I did order some string before I made my original post. I’m waiting for it to arrive. It was some of the cheapest string on the site.
My skill level right now is landing the Trapeze thing (landed it a couple times, it was very exciting first time I got it) . Usually the yo-yo isn’t spinning that well when I throw from the breakaway. Usually doesn’t have enough spin going to land it. Guess it takes a lot of practice. If I throw the yo-yo normally and just pick it up into the trapeze trick it spins a lot better.
I can also do most of the basic stuff. Rock cradle, around the world, the schoolyard classics.
I feel like the Freehand should be sleeping longer than it is, I think I am not throwing it properly. This is the one I got, was 16$ on Amazon

Thanks. Wish I had some of my old Yomegas and Duncan’s. I had a dank little wooden Duncan Yo-yo that was blue with a white stripe, if i had the extra money I’d buy one again.
It was this one exactly, even came with the book in the pic

Awesome! The breakaway is a difficult throw to get down, just keep on practicing! Once you mastered it you’ll be glad you did, because like 80% of yoyo tricks on built on top of the breakaway. This tutorial might help you:

New string came in and some bearing lube from this website (some of the lube somehow leaked into the package in transit though and caused an oily mess but no prob) .
It made a big difference! I got the Trapez landing on the string I’d say 50% of the time now. It also has enough spin time for me to rock it back and forth a couple times. Having a bit of trouble gettin it to return to my hand still, pulling my hands apart like in the video not working too good. Any advice ?
Is there a general discussion thread to move this to or is it in the right pace?

Hey all, my name’s Stephanie and I’ve been yoyoing for about 1.5 years. I like to make technical elements. My favorite players are Evan Nagao, Hirotaka Akiba, and Takeshi. My favorite tricks are the 1.5 Eli Hop and Gentrified (Ann Bubak). Currently using the Magicyoyo n11 and I’m hoping to upgrade some time soon. I’m looking forward to discussing yoyo with you all!

That’s awesome!
To get the yoyo to come back to your hand you just need to pop the yoyo up into the air. Once the string isn’t taut, the response system will kick in and the yoyo will come back to your hand. Pulling your hands apart causes the string to remain taut and not come back to your hand. It’s extremely useful for tricks like Eli Hops, but that’s a way more advanced trick for another time.
Yeah there is, feel free to ask questions in Yo-Yo Tricks.

I can’t even do Yuuki slack, so you’re already way better than me! Not bad by any stretch of the imagination.

I’m hoping XD. n11s are pretty good but I’m getting more into tricks that require specific specs so I’m hoping for something good.
