Another simple question. I’m interested to see what people reply. String tension tricks are pretty easy to make and people have come up with some pretty interesting tricks. Mine is one I invented. U call it the screwdriver. While in a thumb grind with the TH thumb pull the string away from the yoyo so it spins around like a horizantal UFO. Well post away. ---
