I see a lot of yoyo tricks online that look kind of useless when it comes to combos and speed combos and good tricks like that so I was wondering what yoyo tricks I need to know for those speed combos and tech combos that like pros do

So I’ve been looking at those videos and some are just confusing and I don’t know which are really necessary

Can you do trapeze? You said in your recent post on Reddit that the only thing you knew how to do was the bind.
So I’d start there. Then move on to the double or nothing…then the 1.5 mount. Then go from there.
But really, a lot of the tricks you might think useless are good to learn because they’ll help you become more familiar with throwing and will help you build your muscle memory. They may not be something you’ll use in combos…but they will help you become a better over all yo-yoer.

Great! 
It might take awhile, but you’ll get it! It’s really satisfying once you’ve got the trapeze down and it opens up a TON of new things you can work on!

Go to the string tricks basics list on yotricks and go down the list one at a time. There’s a terminology vid too.

The break away is the throw and the trapeze is when you land on the string.

You can always look at the learn section right here on YoYoExpert. It is surprising how useful some of the basics turn out to be (there are more tricks than I care to admit I thought were a waste of time until I needed something from that trick to learn something else)

What did you do to your axle to cause this?
Why do you insist on messing with your yos so much? You’ve already broken a bunch of them in the past. I don’t know what to tell ya man.

Dude, you need to screw your yo-yo back together. You’re getting silver dust because the aluminum is grinding on the axle.

Didn’t you already start a thread about this and get a bunch of answers?
I say stop messing with your yos by unscrewing them and over tightening them and just use them.
