Hey, I’ve been trying some offstring lately with my flying squirrel. I am getting pretty good at the catch and bind, but i’ve been having some trouble on the other tricks. I just can’t get the yoyo to sleep for more than a couple secounds! I was thinking about getting a big yo 2, but would that sleep longer than my squirrel.
they both can sleep for abou t the same but the big yo a bit more because the squirel is to light and you night want to look at the hayabusa or the bigyo which ever one you want

Bigyo would be a very good choice.
Out of all the 4A yoyos I throw, its the one that seems to perform the best.
Durable, doesn’t snag like other 4A yoyos.
Off-string is pretty different, it takes a lot of practice to get great strong throws. I know what you mean about only spinning for a a few seconds. What helped me the most is keeping the string as centered as possible. Takes a bunch of repetition to get it right.
If you go with a BigYo, it has a large gap AKA making the binds a little bit loose. You should lube the bearing or something to have tighter binds, tighter binds mean more powerful throws with less height. Not that height is a bad thing, but may be a factor for indoors. This is why I prefer Small gap yo-yos, such as the Aquarius.
Watch some videos and see how pros throw, this helps me a lot. John first throw in this video shows it well:
The BigYo2 is a good choice, but to get a better sleeper for 4a, throw harder and then right at the last second pull back. Learn how to do the brain twister mount and you’ll be able to throw harder sleepers (from a regular 4a throw) because you can pull back and keep the yoyo nice and low with still having a good spin.
