Does anybody have any tips on how to throw an offstring yoyo harder (Forward Pass Mount)? When I throw the yoyo seems to spin pretty slow. [I have a YoYoJam Fiesta.]

Give it more oomph and pull down harder on the string as the yoyo goes up.

That said, the Fiesta can sometimes have grip problems. I’ve found that Highlights work the best with it.

I have a fiesta, try opening the gap a little further so the string does not touch sides and throw a little higher in the air.
