Yo-yo yo-yo time to go

What is the easiest way to put a yo-yo string on to make it easier for me when I put this one it took me whole but I got there

I decided to do it this way felt like it was easy for me is screw the yo-yo part time a not put it on the bearing then screw it on

Unscrewing a yoyo just to change a string is not adviseable. You can strip the axle threads AND it’s MORE work than just opening a loop at the end of the string.

So if I did it this way will it work instead of screwing the yo-yo just keep it together so if I keep twisting the yo-yo to the side then pull it to get the hole make the hole bigger to fit over the top of the yo-yo then twist the bottom of the string then wrap it up to start yoyoying

Ps if I do it this way will it work

Stringing Your Yo-Yo

Depending upon the type of yo-yo, you will need to put from one to three loops around the axle of the yo-yo.

You should never take a yo-yo apart to string it. This could result in the string getting caught and cut in the axle threading when you screw it back together.

A yo-yo string is simply one long string folded in half and twisted up. Remove the old string by untwisting it until you can slip the yo-yo out.

Keep tension on the string while retwisting it. To put one loop on a yo-yo, untwist the new string at the bottom (the end without the knot) until you have opened up a loop large enough to slip over the yo-yo. Slip this loop over the yo-yo and into the string gap. Now allow the string to retwist while keeping tension on it to avoid kinks, and you’re done!

For two loops , start with one loop but continue to hold the string open after slipping it into the string gap. Give it a one-half twist and slip the loop over the yo-yo again. For three loops , give it one more half-twist and slip it over the yo-yo again. Retwist the string after you have installed the proper number of loops.

Stringing Guidelines

This should give you an idea how many loops to put on your yo-yo. If you’re not sure, start with one loop and add more until your yo-yo both sleeps and comes back easily.

  • All fixed axle yo-yos: One loop. Two are preferred by some for looping, and three can be used for very young children so the yo-yo doesn’t sleep, making it easier to get it back to the hand.
  • Nylon transaxle yo-yos, such as the Yomega Brain: Three loops; two for more advanced players.
  • Roller bearing yo-yos: One or two loops.
  • Yo-yos with an adjustable string gap: Usually one loop, sometimes two.
