> [@yoyodoc](#): > > noticed without any difficulty that their strings seem to move in a fashion that I can’t duplicate, I have noticed the same and have just chalked it up to me being trash at yoyoing. I have bought players’ signature string which I hope is what they use and yeah almost no difference in my own capabilities​😭 ---

I’m going to say Japan has the best players for most categories. ---

I’m mildly surprised just by numbers India and China aren’t on top but the Japan dominance is cool. I’m just happy the US can still be in the top 5 ---

> [@yoyodoc](#): > > Tuned their ability to control strength tension by setting up their tricks in an order that tightens and loosens String tension… not ‘strength’ tension. ….. I’m not really sure how the built in spell correct, can just kinda snatch a word out of the blue, and decide to sub it because it thinks that’s what I meant, lol? ---

> [@yoyodoc](#): > > The question I would like to have answered is what string each player uses on the yo-yo he ir she wins their title with? When I watch the top level competitors, I noticed without any difficulty that their strings seem to move in a fashion that I can’t duplicate, even just within the tricks I’m capable of doing. Doing the speed streaks and the long combos and various lacerations and whips and whatever… Most of the top level player strings don’t seem to coil up… They move through the air deliberately like neck chain as opposed to yarn. Obviously, most of the top players have fine. Tuned their ability to control strength tension by setting up their tricks in an order that tightens and loosens It’s just the way people move their hands. Trying to do tricks at different speeds/different amounts of hand movement can help build this skill Also there are still some high level players who don’t have good string control. They can do all the insane tricks but it doesn’t look as good because they haven’t put effort into cleaning up their execution.
