Okay folks I have a question. I’ve been doing some basic tricks like the Eiffel Tower. Just little things for now, but I’ve gotten into a couple of the other string tricks like the flying trapeze but the thing is is I need to learn a proper breakaway.
So when you throw a breakaway and let’s say you get into a flying trapeze how do you get the yoyo back to your hand because it’s spending the opposite direction. So I saw this one video and I can’t find it is where they popped the yoyo up into the string to bind it back to your hand.
Do you guys have any recommended proper breakaway videos. I seem to be throwing a little crooked and also do you have a video of how to bind it after you do a breakaway?
You’ll need to learn an ‘undermount’ in order to bind from a breakaway. The bind you’re describing from the video sounds like a ‘sky bind’. Not very difficult but you’d be best off practicing the basics before moving on to it.
I highly recommend the skill addicts app as a path to learn the right tricks in the right order. They basically give you a trick to learn and then kinda build off it on the next generally
everyone does and you will for a while. only thing you can do is keep throwing them. it’s muscle memory plain and simple and repetition is the only way to cement muscle memory. you’ll learn to correct your throw and keep playing long before you learn to throw perfectly straight. either that or you just spent way too much time focusing on a trivial aspect. do yourself a favor and don’t over analyze the throw, it’s not worth it.
look at it this way no matter what trick you pick to practice, you’ll also by default be practicing a throw with every failed attempt at the trick and a bind at every success while you clean it up. to practice throw or bind in isolation limits your potential imo
The issue is my breakaways are so crooked I can’t even get into a flying trapeze so I’m just trying to straighten the breakaway out first. Definitely harder then it looks
Try standing at a right angle over the lines of floorboards if available, or facing a wall. These can be used as a guide to practice throwing in a 90° plane from your body. Keep non throw hand as still as possible, and by moving throw hand away from NTH (in plane) as the yoyo is coming around NTH finger, try to land yo on the string as close to finger as possible. Keep at it mate, you’ll get there. I would recommend (again) to dail this in on a responsive. Much less frustrating, many more throw attempts for the time spent. Failed throws can easily be returned to hand, if not, the engineers wind makes a quick and easy job of it. If you’re manually winding the yoyo, you’ll be introducing a lot of string tension/twist that also must be managed. All there in the yotricks first 50 tricks. Let us know how you go bro.
like kyle said you may wanna start at the very beginning. front style gravity throw and first few tricks ease you into being more comfortable with the yoyo before moving on to side style
