I totally burned my finger on my non-throw had today. I am not sure how it happened. I sometimes get a little bit of a rug burn type feel, but this time it was a full on burn. This ever happen to you?
String burn? No that’s never happened to me.
Actually I don’t think that’s ever happened to anyone.

Of course not. There is a completely different reason many players wear gloves.

I remember the first time I got string burn. OUCH!
String burn, mate. Probably comes from the strings running through your fingers a bit too quickly. Happens a lot if you do quick hopping type tricks. I used to burn the bejesus out of my non-throw hand doing eli hops but after a while you get used to it (or just burn the nerve cells and lose all feeling, either or).

Soooo, ya forgot to lube yer fingers, ehhhh??? 
Don’t lube your fingers. Dry fingers are better.
O’Really???
Were instants away from somebody getting WAY out of hand here
Ahahaha I was just thinking what everybody else really meant
i think it really depends on the lube … V4M is the best… i suggest you try thick lube first if the burn is really really bad.
Dry fingers? That kinda hurts, don’t you think? >>
Really, they should come out with some kind of finger lube for yoyo players! <<
sandpaper works great to dry hands
And once the skin is raw enough, sprinkle with lemon juice and salt, and place on dry ice for 5-10 minutes for a complete desert dry finger.
It’s called talcum powder.
Usually you only need gloves if your constantly doing fast string tricks like Hiroyuki
Yes. Go wash your hands. Pick up a yoyo when your hands are still moist. Do Eli Hops really fast. Feel the burn?
