i am right handed. today i decided that i would learn how to yoyo with my left. not 3a, not 2a, just 1a. i guess it is like insurance that if anything made my right hand in capable to throw, then i could go lefty (but i guess that if that happened, i wouldn’t really be able to do 1a anyways). it will also help when i decide i want to learn 2a or 3a. anybody else want to accompany me on this journey of epic proportions. i am not going to just start throwing lefty. i am going to re-learn everything like it was my first time. i have already started with my equinox (only responsive yoyo) and i can bind, braintwister, and barrel role already. i will try to update my learning experience as i go. ---

I’ll do this, but I unfortunately don’t have a responsive yoyo. 😛 I’ll see what I can do though. Picture tricks are gonna kill me. Is there any set time amount? ---

I’m gonna buy a MFHZ and try to work my way up to at least a left-handed kwijibo after I feel that I’ve got 1A down to a decent extent. Still working on a few master tricks and my own tricks. ---
