**Week 27 - Kobayashi’s rejection to hook** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/6/f/86ffcbe87243dc98a233f8a2e7e0c06baa44e22e.jpeg "Tutorial: Toya Kobayashi’s Rejection to Hook") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j360RT1H2a4) We’re over the half way mark for the year! To celebrate I thought it would be fun to learn an element @GTDropKnot has used a few times in his Instagram videos lately because he’s done a great job shepherding the thread this year. This trick is flashy, but also much, much simpler than it seems at first. The tutorial is by Kris Toledo, so it is left handed. If you need to reverse it to see it right handed, you can see it flipped here: [https://www.mirrorthevideo.com/watch?si=b-Km42b\_v\_JDaatq&v=j360RT1H2a4&feature=youtu.be](https://www.mirrorthevideo.com/watch?si=b-Km42b_v_JDaatq&v=j360RT1H2a4&feature=youtu.be) Finally, if you’re finding the tension hook element tough (or just need more instruction than “do a Zach hook”), here’s a pair of tutorials that are variations of just that element: > **Tension hook videos** > > Mr Matio: > [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H18MwWTvWS8&t=8s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H18MwWTvWS8&t=8s) > > Colorado yoyo: > [https://youtu.be/1BHkkFqRvjQ?si=n82Zu4eXpCeVWIyo](https://youtu.be/1BHkkFqRvjQ?si=n82Zu4eXpCeVWIyo) > > Brandon Vu: > [https://youtu.be/oIAZiyIZtZ4?si=j-E-1mRexOJdsxIW](https://youtu.be/oIAZiyIZtZ4?si=j-E-1mRexOJdsxIW) ---

For my take, I decided to do the full sequence I’ve seen Henry use a few times. Not nearly so clean, but I love the back to back rejection-hook sequence. ---

Also I’m going to just add this video for more help with that tension hook. I think it’s easiest to start with the houdini mount version bc it teaches how to hold the string back and that step is important. Besides that all you really do is hop the Yoyo up a tiny bit, release, and move throwhand index up and to the throw hand side.

If you’re having trouble with the Yoyo snagging, you gotta just really commit. Send the Yoyo into the back string hard and let the momentum carry it back around. You’ll miss some but then you get the feel right and will start hitting it over and over again. Good luck! ---

The next element is a beefhook and then a rejection slack that’s not really a hook. Here’s the tutorial for both. Fair warning beefhook is very frustrating at first. Also incredibly satisfying to land once you do start to get it. The meta combo is the tutorial I picked up that rejection element from.

Thank you. I can do beefhook but not consistent. I think it‘s just hand positioning and praticing a bit more. Tbh now is a good time to finally get it. I have already tried and landed some in the last 2 hours since i woke up.
