My throws have tried to kill me on several occasions. Once they’ve tasted blood you have to get rid of them. ---

This is my typical finger loop size ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/0/8/008294061b3a4774fccd6ddd020b7bc9eb6c7b07.jpeg) ---

That’s not a loop! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/9/0/a9082a8f76a2a4d5de76101c94175bb188d74d52.jpeg) This is a loop! But on a serious note. Loop size doesn’t matter cause we are making slipknots. However something like smaller than my abomination is probably right. ---

I’m pretty particular so any time the knot isn’t close to centered on top of my finger, I re-do the knot. ---

I need loops to add up to this configuration to really work for me. ![loop](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/6/3/a63130f78d85130873b3ffdefded05a2c9ea29d4.jpeg) ---

Double slip knot is a game changer. Makes a single slip knot feel like I just have the plain loop over my finger. ---

I find that the knot slips more if I have it really really small or too big because the knot lump part can get too close to the slip knot area and then it slides more. Even if it’s positioned in the good direction. Took me forever to realize this but now I got a size I like and it never slips and I’ve been going finger tip for 1a recently ---

Isn’t that a bridle knot? Best in my opinion. Great for kites. ---

TBH, I’m not sure. I found it searching specifically for ways to keep yoyo slip knots secure, so “double slip knot” is the only name I know. [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/things-that-are-occasionally-annoying-about-yoyo/371471.md?page=1)
