I’m not sure if I’m doing them correctly. When doing them the string wraps around my index finger - when dropping the yoyo there is no knots. Am I doing this correctly?

but the exciting part then is that a simple starter combo is rolling then reversing and unrolling to unwrap, or just drop the wraps whichever you prefer
