Can you do lacerations?

If you can that’s great, you’re halfway there. It’s just like a laceration, but you have to whip the string in between the yoyo and your body and with a bit more vigour. When looking down on the yoyo and string, the string should make a U shape on its side.

Make sure your string is under neutral torsion and try to pop the yoyo to your solar plexus level, I find that works for me.

Hope that helps to some degrees

I originally learned Hooks by attaching a string to a doorknob. Not the yoyo lol an actual doorknob.

This was the best tut the helped me all that time ago, just like Ed said - you can do it on practically anything - Dylan exemplifies this in the video with a twig

That was a great explanation…i think ive been trying to hook the wrong side of the yoyo! Thank you

No worries! Took me a while to get it but once you do it’s sooo satisfying.

Word of warning though, when you get it you’ll find hitting lacerations need a bit more thought because you train to not hit hit them for a hook!
