That is AWESOME!!! Great job! After a little while you wonā€™t really have to even think about the end bind. It will be as natural as that little tug you give to get a responsive yoyo back to your hand. There are tons of fancy ways to bind but donā€™t worry about those now. Just practice whatever you already know and do a bind at the end. Rock the Baby seems goofy but practice that and dropping it then doing a bind. Or just try getting good and straight sleepers and then binding. Great job!

Did you unscrew it and see if one of the response pads is missing? That company has poor quality control. I got one of their yoyos 4-5 years ago and a response pad was missing. Can you bind properly on other unresponsive yoyos?

think you have to get the next trust level to post. just keep reading, reacting, and replying and itll happen fast

in the meantime can you describe what problem you are having? also are you trying to bind front style or side style?

Oh shoot. Sorry. Thanks Thomas :heart:

The easiest bind imo is:

  1. Throw a strong sleeper
  2. Push your NON throw hand index finger into the string FROM THE FRONT
  3. Lower your throw hand (with the yoyo between your throw hand and you)
  4. Feed the string from your throw hand into the gap of the yoyo as you bring your throw hand back to you from underneath. Youre making a big circle around the sleeping yoyo and your non throw hand index finger.
  5. When itā€™s wrapped around once, pinch the loop around your non throw hand index finger
  6. Lower your non throw hand while raising your throw hand
  7. Get ready because here she comes!

Mannnnnnnā€¦ if I had won $10 for every time I said, ā€˜juiceā€™, I would have enough money to buy another Titanium yo-yo, lol.

That particular word certainly dates me back to the days of wooden sailing ships.

Back in the 60ā€™s it was all about Hot Rods. No nitrous oxideā€¦ no jet fuelā€¦ no paddle shiftingā€¦etc.

But a whole lot of tinkering with carburetors. Nothing like a 55 Chevy with a 327. Dual feed750 Holly carbs on an Edlebrock high rise intake manifold. Lightened camā€¦.Joe Hunt Magnetoā€¦Blackjack headersā€¦. Etcā€¦

Always messing with the carb jetting to run on the rich side without drowning the engine.

The word, ā€˜Juiceā€™ often meant, ā€˜step on the pedal and give it some GASā€™!

ā€˜Give it the Juiceā€™. Floor itā€¦. Etc.

Over the years when Iā€™ve done my little videos, they pretty much all have the same things in common.

I donā€™t have any actual plan. Iā€™m no video man. I donā€™t do sound checks. I donā€™t set up positions to maximize the best lighting. I never rehearse the dialogue. I donā€™t editā€¦. Itā€™s just one take and done.

Ifā€¦ā€¦ I would have watched that video and listened to how many times I repeated the same word, no doubt I would have come up with some better non repetitive term(s) in my presentation.

To this day I still use the word, ā€˜juiceā€™. But mostly when speaking about orange stuff in bottles.

That video is one Iā€™ve shared a bunch of times and is still the best video Iā€™ve seen for beginners and their first bind.

I am trying to do a front bind but it still seems to not work even though Iā€™ve looked for all the videos I could find on YouTube

we can def get you sorted. can you post a video yet by any chance? if you can post or msg a link to a video of a couple of attempts that will be WAY easier to help diagnose any possible trouble

without seeing it, make sure first and foremost that you are pinching the loop with your non throw hand and dont let go of it until you feel the yoyo grab and start to respond. also, the slower the yoyo is spinning, the bigger the loop needs to be to get it to bind. as youre starting out, you probably are going to need the loop to be about equal in length to the single string segment such that the yoyo is in the center of the cradle. once you pinch, lower your non throw hand while raising your throw hand

hopefully some of that helps. again, if you can postv thatā€™ll help a ton. otherwise if you can describe what is happening that may help. if you have any specific questions ask away. just donā€™t give up. youā€™ll get there and itll be epic!
