Old man, new start

They come with very short strings. Spinstars are marketed to kids mostly.

Right, the Spinstar has a longer string on it. Time to learn some tricks. Trapeze is much harder to land with the longer string. I haven’t landed one properly yet with the long string on.

Thanks for your help everyone. Gonna go through some basic trick videos now.

Cheers

Try waiting for the accent on the breakaway to slow and then aim to catch it “close” to the yo-yo. The closer you get the less room for error there is. You can practice catching it close and allowing it to walk down the string so it sits in a “deeper” mount.
