Who put’s their slip knot yo yo string on the middle phalanx(middle knuckle)? Who puts their slip knot on the proximal phalanx(upper knuckle)? I prefer the proximal phalanx… But I still need to search for my yo yo tape, so I have to switch back and fourth to not cut the blood circulation of my fingers \>.\<. ---

Try masking tape out or that blue painters tape. You can cut it to the size you need. ---

I always thought the most common place was middle finger, middle phalanx (between 2nd and 3rd knuckle) because it gives the best control. But do whatever works for you. When I first started, I remember putting it as far back as I could on my index finger. Returning the yoyo repeatedly hit a bone on my palm though, which hurt pretty bad after a while. also don’t worry about things like yoyo tape, or painters tape, etc etc. Just build up a callous in whatever spot you’re most comfortable using. after a pretty short time, you won’t really feel any pain.
