A regen is basically when you re-throw the yoyo instead of catching it. Similar to many basic techniques in looping. Take a look Ann’s One Throw video on here or on [yoyofactory.com](http://yoyofactory.com). You’ll notice that it looks like she is throwing the yoyo throughout the video, but she’s not catching it between those throws. Those are regens.
