Last day when i was yoyoing i heard a guy sayin than the string affects the skin and makes it stiff and the finger longer and bent … 😢 is thats true ? . have u seen how your finger now has changed since practicing yoyoing . ---

i could see maybe like calluses or something from the string but unless your throwing something that weighs like 2 pounds i doubt it could bend your finger ---

That isn’t really a bad thing is it? Less string burn is a plus of it. 😃 ---

It will only cause your finger to get a callous where the string is tied to your finget. That is your skins way of protecting itself. Perfectly normal. I’ve been yoyoing for 6 years and still don’t have a bent finger. That’s just absurd. lol ---

Nothing can really happen ecept callouse skin, I’d laugh if we all didn’t realise but we all have really long fingers like ET, but no trys to tell us! ---

I imagine you can get Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (or however you spell it!) But check out what happened to Dazzling Dave’s finger after years of yoyoing! [http://www.biancolo.com/tag/sports/](http://www.biancolo.com/tag/sports/) ---
