I have checked how to loop on several places that teach yo-yo tricks and they say that when looping, the yo-yo should be at the angle of the 1 o’ clock position if your doing it with your right hand and 11 o’ clock if your doing it with your left. The only way I can do a good loop for the most amount of time is if my yo-yo is at the angle of the 11 o’ clock position when I use my right hand. Why is it that I’m better off doing it like this instead of like what the sites and the books I have say? ;D ;D ??? ???
