I can’t land my responsive yoyo on my string without it trying to return resulting in tangles. What can I do to stop this?
Hello there! The best advice I can offer is watch some videos of folks using fixed axle yoyos. Then practice. Lots of practice.
@edhaponik has a great tutorial section on this site
The main thing is to keep the string from going slack at all in the yoyo. I find that when I’m doing a lot of unresponsive play I’ll get a bit lax with keeping tension on the string (note: not the same thing as string tension/twist) when I’m landing a mount, and unresponsive throws don’t care. The responsive yoyo will grab the little bit of slack and grab it.
Keeping the string taught when in an undermount is obviously extra important - even an unresponsive yoyo will grab the string in that case.
What yoyo would you recommend for getting into string tricks? I’m using a magic v3. I’m looking at the spintastic space monkey.
