Hi everyone,

My yoyo’s string gets twisted up very quickly when I play fast, so I keep having to take the yoyo off the string and let the string untangle itself. It’s a very slow process. How do you sidewinder a yoyo so the strings don’t naturally twist when they are loosely hung next to each other? This yoyo is a One Drop Code 2.

Thanks!
