I keep lengthening my strings and Iā€™m just now starting to get comfortable at the current length. Iā€™m using a Markmont Blue Eyes White Dragon string, and the knot is about 1 1/2 inches below the very end of the string as they come stock. Iā€™m going to be trying several things out this week though, so maybe I will try a bit longer at some point. ---

I resisted longer string for a long timeā€¦ especially with anything $$$ā€¦ i got over it. Im careful with my good throws i usually play over a mat or wood floorsā€¦ for outside i have my MYYs. I can vouch for the fact that since using a longer string as per suggested on this thread the slack and tech trick are easier. (Before lengthening my string couldnā€™t do them almost at all). Im 5ft3ā€¦ at home my string is shoulder to ground. My edc is only mid sternum to the ground. Try a slightly longer string. Youā€™ve got plenty of throws to experiment with. ---

> [@AKYOYOMIKE](#): > > at home my string is shoulder to ground Thatā€™s super long! šŸ˜³ Lately Iā€™ve been going about an inch shy of the bottom of my sternum. Itā€™s only a few inches longer than I was doing before but itā€™s helped a lot with dense mounts, slack stuff, and undercuts. Iā€™m scared to go any longer since 99.9% of the time Iā€™m throwing over the concrete floor of work or my basement. ---

You got used to the longer string but i use shorter string still when iā€™m outside but i keep going longer as i get more comfortable. I think string length is proportional to your hightā€¦ that equation leaves a short guy like me with a uncomfortable long string for throws. But it actually makes the tricks easier ---

Can I at least get an E for effort? Making some progress on Jackā€™s Slack.

Man you almost got it!! You are struggling with the suicide because the string attached to you yoyo is about the same length of the string that should create the slack. When you rotate in position before the suicide, try to keep the fulcrum of rotation as close as possible to the yoyo. So the slack will be bigger ---

> [@ChrysaeThrows](#): > > because the string attached to you yoyo is about the same length of the string that should create the slack Did you do Jackā€™s Slack yet? Itā€™s hard to prevent the two lengths from being close to equal. Even in the tutorial the fulcrum string is almost too long. Makes the suicide a little difficult, the motion has to be just right. > [@ChrysaeThrows](#): > > thatā€™s my 4th day of quarantine, and it will go on at least until April 3rd That sucks dude. Stay sane man; guess thatā€™s not too hard when youā€™ve got yo-yos to play with. Iā€™m not quarantined but Iā€™m going crazy from having to take it easy on the yo-yoing right now. Least I can throw a bit. I finally learned momentum bind. Also got Jackā€™s Slack down pretty quickly. I think the only thing Iā€™m still behind on is barrel rolls/boingy boing. Soon as I feel a bit better Iā€™m going to make some new videosā€”hard to make videos when I yo-yo for only 5 minutes at a time. ---

Guys you know what? Itā€™s exactly the opposite of what I suggested. You have to land far from the fulcrum, near your th to have the slack bigger.
