I’m proficient at snap starting a YoYo without gloves on, but I cannot figure out how to snap/hand start a YoYo with a glove on. My fingers just slip off. Any pointers would be very appreciated. ---

Hm I’ve never had a problem. Just push really hard with your thumb. ---

Rather than snapping like you usually would, try holding it in your non throwhand palm and sliding your throw hand to push it off. It’s a bit flashy but it gets the job done
