Don’t be mean. Maybe this is a younger kid and he is only allowed to do it in his room… think bigger people. Be nice. ---

Guys come on. We don’t have to be jerks. OP-Do you use the fan? You can get a light fixture for $20 or less at Lowe’s or Home Depot and that should give you more clearance. ---

Well, I did suggest changing the fan out for a light fixture, as well as rearranging the furniture… I have yet another solution: Buy a Mighty Flea! ---

If the Flea is to small, there is always the executive. Or actually, now that I think of it, there is a Yomega that has rubber on the rims. Atlas I think? or something like that? ---

Just playing with a shorter string might help. I was mostly joking about the Flea/couldn’t help myself… ---

Just take the yoyo off the string and practice as if it were there. ---

I honestly just created this thread for advice on changing the light fixture. I have considered all of your advice. I think that some of you might have misunderstood the first post because I was not clear about what I was asking. No need for the hate. ---

I looked for that video of Charles after seeing that other one… It’s not hard at all to change out the fan for a light fixture, if you’re at all proficient at DIY stuff. Just get as low a profile one as you can find. you should be able to attach it right to the fan box (mount).
