I looked it up and I don’t believe this thread has been made before. But I’ve noticed that a lot of yoyoers have a stance, even though I doubt they mean to have one. I’ve been working on mine (one foot slightly forward). Do you have one? ---

When I play frontstyle for any style of play, I have my left foot forward naturally. For side style, I just stand with my feet parallel. ---

I’m not what anyone would call “talented” but I have noticed this exact thing happening with me! I always catch myself with my feet shoulder width apart, straight back, and when I’m doing front mounted tricks, I usually bend over a bit so the yoyo has room to move (though I should figure out how to do front mounted tricks without bending my back some time soon) ---

Spencer Berry has the best yoyo stances, hands down. ---

> [@Raigo](#): > > arent your feet always parallel? 🙂 Stand up, walk around a bit, and stop. A lot of people would end up with their feet not parallel. The right would be angled slightly right, and the left would be angled left. ---

In the interest of feet in this situation, I think a mild degree of crow’s feet can still be considered “parallel” ---

What yall talkin’ bout Willis’s? Harold Owens obviously has the best stance. Janos Karancz being a close second. As for me, I just have a kind of “normal” stance. Nothing special. ---

I’m orthodox, left foot front, right hand and right eye dominant. Usually a left handed person have the right foot forward, it’s just natural. ---

Ky Sizan has the best stances in my opinion,and charles haycock,they both move in whimsical ways and Ky does these hip sways when he plays XD i love it,i on the other hand keep my knees bent and have a habit of leaning back on my right leg knee bent and point my toes on my left foot in the air…MY POWER STANCE!
