Awesome! Excited to see it drop on YoYoExpert!
Sup guys I’m Ben from Fl. I used to yo-yo some when I was like 12, maybe younger. Never got any good. Recently saw some guy yo-yoing on YT and thought it was fun and wanted to re-live walkin the dog and such. Bought a Duncan Freehand yo-yo from Amazon last week and enjoying it. Like a dummy though forgot to buy extra strings 
. The handsome guy in the photo is my dog Snoop. Just wanted to say

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?
