You’re fine it’s not annoying I did put it back on in the other video but my hand was blocking it one second I’ll make a more clear video. ---

Okay so it looks like it’s double wrapped so you untwist it and pull the Yoyo through and then do that again. Just check and make sure you’re not adding more wraps. ---

I love a good imperial and even a nice butterfly but I honestly wouldn’t give either to someone relatively new to YoYo. Fixed axle is honestly a bit harder than a bearing responsive and an imperial shape requires a very consistent and straight throw to get it to come back let alone sleep properly. I’m not saying it’s a hard YoYo to use but it’s not a first YoYo by any level. At best I would suggest double wrapping it or getting a thick string to play it single wrapped so it’s easy to recall and doesn’t create that user discouraging feeling you get when the YoYo goes sideways mid throw early on. My suggestion would be to get a cheap bearing responsive YoYo like a spinstar or a SnapBack and enjoy the implement in quality of life while you learn then return to the imperial later to see how much you’ve learned and developed your consistency ---
