Off axis play is easy when you are ready to learn them.  
It is basically throwing the yoyo almost 90 degrees and keeping it that way.  
Just practice by doing brain twister combo or skin the gerbil in 90 degrees and try to keep the string in the center, not touching the yoyo. This is keep the yoyo 90 degrees
