So i was looping with my Duncan Proyo and I’ve been doing it for almost a half an hour then as i did a forward pass all of the sudden my string split apart and as it came back it got tangled. Any reason why would that happen? ---

maybe your string got spined so much and got tangled then twisted the other way. ---

Did you adjust your string tension every now and then? If not then the string will unwind almost all the way as you mentioned. ---

Yup, I can almost guarantee that you need to just adjust your string tension. ---

yeah string tension. once i did a trick to loosen the string so much that the string completely unwound and the yoyo fell out. i thought i broke the string but when i noticed i didnt, i thought it was magic. i am substantialy less stupid now. (not saying u r stupid) ---

Try adjusting your string, it will tighten.
