Double slipknot is the way to go. I don’t bother with a normal loop anymore and always go straight to making a double slipknot. ---

I’m using the bearing it came with, which is a DS. I’m actually not sure which type of DS, because it’s shielded unlike the aftermarket ones. So it’s either the 10 ball steel or a Plat. It actually sounds a lot like the Plat—when they make noise at all—but I dunno. It spins good, other than on and off for 20 mins yesterday. ---

haha omg! SOOOOO close!! How long is you’re string? Asking @ChrysaeThrows as well. Mine is a bit over my belly button when it’s attached to my finger. Still…it always seems like people have more string to work with then I do in a lot of tricks like this one. ---

Haha so so close! But this trick is fun so I dont mind doing it over and over 🙂 Ive found that the sweet spot for me is belly button plus 4 fingers. ---

Maaaaan that was really close! @twitch77 when attached to my finger my string reaches my brestbone intake. 20cm over my bellybutton. Lol. I would say it is 1.3 m long. I’m 1.76 tall. No idea how much it is in inches :joy: ---

I would say, try with a plastic and get used to it. But I really like long strings, for sure the speed decreases and the yoyo generally feels heavier, but I feel I have more room for techy, wips and slack. ---

My slipknot > [@ANGVS](#): > > Does anyone else have their slipknot shift a little during the first undercut? Like 6/10 times it shifts just enough to drive me bonkers lol. Mine slips all the time. I think a thicker string works or you can choke down on that middle finger a little bit with the loop. ---

Use a double slipknot. Twitch even made a video, above. There’s variations of it as well.
