now here is the problem my string tangles after literally one throw no matter what trick i do and it tangles a lot I’m just wondering if it’s because I’m new and haven’t learned how to do things prober ally but still a string shouldn’t tangle as much as it does for me after just a simple bind
Have you read about string torsion (aka string tension)?

It’ll happen less and less as you get better as you’ll get better at avoiding the yo-yo dying on the string and spinning out. That said, for while you’re starting it’s going to be something you just kind of have to get used to fixing semi-frequently.
Strings will also hold their tension worse as they are used (so an old string will go from neutral tension to lots of tension much quicker than a new string). However, for now don’t worry about replacing your strings often or that’ll get expensive fast.
thank you i was just looking for this kind of answer since i didn’t really know why it did that and i couldn’t find anyone talking about it

Get in the habit of grabbing the yoyo immediately if it loses spin.
Did you ask the strings for permission before touching them?
