Started a little rivalry in the throwers discord to do a hidemasa hook on a spinning yoyo with the shortest possible string. My best is 14.8". _Can you beat this short-ness?_ If you have the shortest (based on my judgement, needs to be video and photo of the measured length) you can win a c3 token, the same one I am using in the vid below! **Rules:** - The yoyo string needs a loop tied in it - The loop must be around one of your fingers - Tag #TinyHidemasaHook - The submission must be on Instagram for my own sanity (but feel free to post it in here too) - The yoyo has to be spinning before and after - You can snap start it if you want to. You don’t need to bind. - Ties will be broken by whether you bind the yoyo, then by submission date. - You have until Friday, NOON EASTERN TIME **Example:** [https://www.instagram.com/p/B3X55zNBIKI](https://www.instagram.com/p/B3X55zNBIKI) **Tips:** Let the string do the work Follow the yoyo with your finger Record it! Otherwise it doesn’t count Start with a longer string first to get the technique down Use your smallest yoyo that spins gud ---

It looks very difficult, it would be fun to know how many tries participants take. His pinky gave him slightly more string. ---

Does it count if i just wrap my string around my fingers and measure from there? Or do I need to actually cut a string down to size? ---

Wow, that’s really good. I’ve done it with ~20” in the past… 11.27” is incredible. I’m gonna give it a go right now—this is the first chance I’ve had, kinda busy week for me. I think I can hit 15” or so, not hopeful for breaking the 11” barrier 😆 ---
