I’ve learned looping, can loop until I get tired on either hand, but now I want to start 2a, and would like to have some tips. I also have a few questions-

-Does either string need to be longer or shorter than the other? For example: right yoyo- 31 inches, left yoyo- 34 inches.  
-How long did it take you to be able to do 2a consistently?

Thanks.

Newer length string. Everyone is different. Its veriable depending on how long you practice and how solo you are at 2A. Just loop and profit.

Generally the same length works better.
