Here is a suggestion for you that will apply to many things in your life. Yo-yo is a lifelong trip. Slow down, there is no rush. If your goal while traveling is to get to the destination as fast as humanly possible, then you miss out on all the enjoyment along the way. It’s fun…enjoy it. The alternative will be filled with anger and frustration. In that way you will rob yourself of your own happiness. Also there are so many other tricks and learning them along side looping can only improve your overall skill. Simple tricks that can be picked up with less effort will reward you with the satisfaction of success. That will keep your spirits up instead of down and the overall experience will be far more rewarding. It will also allow you to change it up a bit when you do get frustrated and that allows you to maintain a more positive outlook. Having a positive outlook on as many things as possible can improve your quality of life. So don’t give up and “try” not to get discouraged if it takes you more than 5 days to pick up a skill that professionals literally spend thousands of hours a year to perfect. And many will tell you that if you don’t stick with it, the skill will diminish. In time you will find yo-yo to be one of the greatest escapes from the pressures of life. So please try not to make yo-yo one of those pressures. And your loops look very good at 5 days in. Just 2 cents from an old guy.

I highly recommend trying to learn, at least, a couple different tricks or maybe even a couple different styles. I find that, if I focus on one trick specifically, I get very frustrated and bored but, if I switch it up when I’m struggling, it usually makes it easier to come back to the original trick. I like to switch between unresponsive, responsive, and fixed axle. I really feel like playing responsive and fixie have made me better at unresponsive. Good luck on your throw journey! You’re doing great for 5 days in!
