As the title implies, I have string burn. Although I know the common remedy is to wait a few hours, and then continue throwing. I was just wondering if any of you out there have any different remedies. If so, please share them! ---

Iā€™ve given myself some slight string burns mainly from doing Boomerangs. Iā€™ve tried gloves, donā€™t like itā€¦I feel like I have less control. I just donā€™t go as hard on the boomerangs, or when I do it, I kind of get the string to lift off my finger some so itā€™s not rubbing so hard against my finger and works pretty effectively. Or, you can just build up a callous. ---

In other words, gloves separate the yo-yo and the yo-yo-ist You MUST play like Suzuki, then wear gloves. Thereā€™s a reason he does. šŸ˜› And when I get string burn, I wait a few seconds for the pain to go down a bit and keep throwing. lol Iā€™m used to it by now ---

``` String burns? If string is causing you pain then you're jelly. If it hurts don't stop; build a calluse. After a while it doesn't hurt. ``` And wearing glove is kind of like disgracing your family; if your not not ā€œHiroyuki Suzukiā€ fast or donā€™t yoyo with speed beyond human capability then gloves are kind of pointless. ---

I suppose some people just donā€™t like the feel of the string rubbing on their fingers. Youā€™d think if they are doing this a lot, theyā€™d get used to it or at least become tolerant of it. I donā€™t think Iā€™ll ever get fast enough to need to wear gloves. Chances are, if I do get that fast, first, Iā€™d amaze myself that I got that fast. Second, is that in the time that it takes me to get that fast, chances are itā€™s be so used to it that it wouldnā€™t bother me. ---

Maybe iā€™m not throwing fast enough or i have developed callouses from other uses of my hands, but i have never gotten string burn. Sometimes when itā€™s humid out it grips a bit, but nothing that causes discomfort. I heard to use aloe, but i canā€™t testify whether or not this helps.
