Your throw probably is not powerful enough. I am assuming you are throwing downward. If it just lightly glides down the string it will not be spinning fast enough in order for a bind to work properly. Practice throwing good hard sleepers and watch Andre’s bind videos right here on YYE. Don’t get discouraged! ---

Being a kid doesn’t matter. Yoyos can not tell how old we are. The best people on this forum are young enough to be my grandchildren. ---

I hope you don’t totally bail on the responsive. It can be really helpful to practice, especially in the beginning. However, we’re all different, and we all get there in different ways, so whatever keeps you excited and motivated is most important. As has been said, the tutorials here are great. Also, Gentry Stein just started a new series, and will be adding videos daily: [https://youtu.be/J3UaiSg3DDI](https://youtu.be/J3UaiSg3DDI) ---

Sure! It sounds like you might be beyond the first two episodes, but I think they’re still worth watching. In particular, here [https://youtu.be/q272a3k\_73g?t=272](https://youtu.be/q272a3k_73g?t=272) Gentry talks about how to get a good throw, and does a nice job of it. ---

I assume you are using your N11. As the kids say, it can be a bit “slippy” when trying to bind. Of all my throws (granted I don’t have a ton) it takes the most finesse to bind. ---

I was trying to teach my sister how to bind and she was having the same problem with the yoyo tilting. It tilts because you rub the string on the side of the yoyo. What you need to do is line up the string perfectly in the gap then it won’t tilt. ---
