Yo 3A is in desperate need of some tutorials and I might as well make some. I’ll put them in the posts below. Please let me know if you have any feedback at all or if there are any tricks you think I should add to my list of 3A tricks that need tutorials.

Tutorial for 3A trapeze. Really just wanted to show that it is best to learn this trick through a progression vs just instantly trying to yeet the yoyos into trapezes.

Yo I made a couple more tuts. One for Coro bc there are no tutorials out there that address the common problems people have and either make the trick seem way too complicated or don’t explain anything at all.
The other one just shows a nice little progression to move from grabbing the loop to being comfortable throwing directly into coro.

ive been checking out some styles beyond 1a. im not sure im gangsta enough for 3a, but if i get a wild hair someday, i imagine its pretty important to have a matching pair is it not? i don’t have 2 of anything and I’m not sure what makes a yo good for what 3a tackles so I’m just curious what it would take to get off the ground

Nah you don’t need a matching pair to start learning and can start learning whenever. @ice1000 barely knew any 1a when they started playing 3a but having a decent grasp of 1a fundamentals will definitely help with early woes. As far as yoyos go, I recommend just copping a cheap pair like n12s or cyber crash 2s to start. Whatever you choose is going to get really beat up.
Heres a guide with some day 0 tips

For getting started matching pair doesn’t matter too much. Try using matching pair for symmetric tricks, but symmetric tricks aren’t beginner level anyway. You can even use a plastic yoyo with a metal yoyo for 3A, it’s doable

hell yea brother 3A has been all I’ve wanted to play lately. Got past that really awkward nondominant hand phase and it’s super fun now even though I know like, 3 tricks.

I am horrible. And there’s a couple things that is hard to comprehend. Maybe because I’m old lol. I should have started this 30 years ago. But! I’m doing it now and it’s exciting.

Excellent work! Try shorter strings! So short you can barely bind, makes it soo much easier to control.

nice! second Nathan’s suggestion to shorten string. mine is like if my arm is by my side the yoyo has just enough string to touch the floor

Let’s goooo I am old also and didn’t start playing yoyo until I was over 30 so I empathize w the wish to have started years ago. You are so right tho like better late than never. Also very cool to hear that you are excited diving into the style. 3A can definitely be rough at first but stick with it and it really does become less awkward feeling. Once you become familiar with all the common tangles it gets way better also because then you can spend more time playing and less time unknotting string. No way to get there without just playing the style so your trajectory is great lol. Please ask any questions that come up and have fun yo!

One thing that has been annoying me is that my cheap Amazon throws are horrendous at binding. Maybe not the end of the world but really difficult. I tried other throws with my left hand and they bind fine. So I found a used set of save3a titans. I know I don’t need anything fancy yet but mentally I just need a matched set lol
