How can I loosen and tighten my string tension on an unresponsive yoyo? I know sidewinder doesn’t work and I’ve never been a big fan of UFO… ---

you don’t have to bind and then do sidewinder just grap the string and pull it to the sides. make surte the string rovolves around the yoyo sideways and WALA!!! you got sidewinder you can also just let the string down but that’s kinda boring lol good luck
