Quick question about how safe overyoyoing is

General Yo-Yo

So basicly i have been yoying for more then i think 5 hours a day like each day and now my middle finger is oddly bigger at the joint then my nonyoyo middle finger, will that be a problem in the long run? Or should i just lay off the yoyo for a few days?

It is normal, a callus is forming which happen basically to every yoyoer so if it doesnā€™t hurt you can keep going.

Honestly I am more worried about the 5 hours a day, be careful mate because you risk a burnout and quit the game all together, I seen so many people grinding all day to just get burnout and it is a shame.

In case maybe spread those 5 hours during the arc of the day and do not forget other stuff in life exist, all this is said by someone that play A LOT!

Welcome to the forum!!

How long have you been throwing? Guessing you are new to the game. Can we ask how old you are?

5 hours a day is a lot and as Alberto pointed out, donā€™t neglect what really needs doing! That said, Iā€™m always holding / throwing mine. I put in a couple hours in the morning and sometimes more in the evening so Iā€™m right there with you. Just find the right balance that works for you.

To your original question, itā€™s pretty common for your finger to react to this new thing youā€™re doing to it. Iā€™ve found that wrapping with a ā€œdouble slip knotā€, you can avoid the callus. Itā€™s wrapped like this. Let me know if you canā€™t see the pictures. I think the admins are working through a bug on the site right now.

Too, pop into this thread and introduce yourself. Not required but itā€™s something I missed and wished I had.

To you last question, no need to close or delete a thread. The admins take care of all that. Here is a link to the forum rules.
