offstring with a counterweight - anyone try this?

Just wondering…I’m not that good at either…

I was thinking about that. But unattached PLUS unattached means I’m gonna be chasing something no matter what! I’m just trying to think how well that would work together. I could see pinching the string short to make a way to spin the CW. I could even see the CW helping with comfort and throws and when you close the loop a bit.

Should be interesting. I bet someone is doing it.

commonly known as 9a and offhand: http://www.yoyowiki.org/wiki/Styles_Of_Play#Freehand_Offstring

I would love to whip that counter weight around like a baseball bat and catch the off string haha, that would rock.

Very cool, I can see where that would certainly add a different element, but yeah, I don’t see a need to make it a well known competition or anything.
