So I have a responsive yo yo that comes back right after it bounces when it sleeps if I throw full strength how I I reduce the responsiveness? ---

Which responsive yoyo? Have you learned that string torsion affects how responsive yo-yos are yet? ---

It could be: If you throw too hard the yoyo bounces up at the end of the string, which can make the string start to wind-up. ---

Things to check: - String is single-looped around the axle by untwisting it. - No knots. If so, use a toothpick to undo them. - String isn’t too frayed. - You are softening the landing by slightly dropping your throw hand slightly as it terminates. You can start with softer throws and keep throwing progressively harder to build consistency. ---

The bearing could have a bit of string jamming it up, could have an axle knot. ---

> [@Sven](#): > > If you throw too hard the yoyo bounces up at the end of the string Only if the technique needs finessing. W good technique the yoyo can be thrown super hard and not bounce back and respond. ---
