Your embarrassing confession?

In my five years of learning to throw, I still wind the yoyo up after a dead spin. Never learnt any of the fancy ways of starting a dead yoyo.

Yo there are windups that are super easy to learn and I think it makes yoyoing more enjoyable because you can keep it spinning more and it’s just quicker. If you don’t want to learn also, that’s cool! But you shouldn’t be embarrassed about that.

Here’s a topic I made asking people about the restarts they use.

Let’s Talk Restarts

What are all the ways y’all restart a dead Yoyo? What’s your go to and what are any fancy ones you know? I usually do the one where nth holds the string and th thumb starts the spin and I recently decided I should learn the one handed snap start. I oddly get more spin snap starting but it’s not nearly as stable yet…and I don’t know how to chain it into a bind as smooth as the other way. I also want to say the engineers wind up is underrated and should be the first thing any beginner learns.

Edit-I also noticed you made this topic right after I made mine and used a lot of the same language I did and I felt bad reading it! I didn’t ask about restarts to make you feel embarrassed. If you want any help, I’ll do my best to help you.
