I just bought the yoyofactory spinstar and I was using it for over 10 minutes and for some reason I threw it down and it instantly came up.I did it again and again and it still came right back up and won’t sleep and I don’t know how to fix it.

Did you try reading it a story ? Or maybe singing a lullaby ?

Aha I’m kidding . Couldn’t help myself . I was check the bearing to see if there is possible an axle knot meaning there is a second layer of string around the bearing . If not the bearing may need a cleaning .

Check for knots first. Then If you notice your string wants to twist up when it goes slack, it’s either gotten too tight or too loose . Imagine throwing sleepers one after another, or practicing Trapeze. Each time you throw, you’re twisting the string a little more in the same direction.
This will help loosen or tighten your string I would NOT attempt if yoyo will not sleep it could snap back and cause injury! use only to maintain string torsion . Take the string off your finger and hold the yoyo and let the string hang down and unwind hope this helps

It’s most likely string tension. Learn sidewinder. Also try pinching the string just above the yoyo then spinning the yoyo and/or the string to open up the string around the axle. Not sure why, but this REALLY helps on Spinstars.

Open it up and take the string off the plastic piece in the middle which is a transaxle. The string may have wrapped around this plastic piece if the the yoyo came unscrewed a little. It’d help if you could post some photos. Welcome to the forums!
