Yoyo String Balls

I saw @Brandon_Vu’ s video on yoyo string balls a while ago and I’ve been meaning to make mine. I sat down today and piled together whatever dead string I could find around the house onto a bouncy ball I (or my little brother) won’t (probably) use.

I made one too. There’s nothing in the center of mine but string. It’s a little bigger than a yoyo right now

I could have done mine without the ball, but I think it’s cool to think that somewhere in the depths of the ball was a bouncy ball. Maybe having a ball makes it more rigid/bounce more?

I’m not going to try bouncing my string ball though.

Nice. I’ve been playing around with mine for a bit and it’s really good for catch, since mine is about the exact size of a baseball. The fact that it’s made of string makes it really soft to catch :stuck_out_tongue:

I was inspired by my yoyo string ball to make something for mother’s day. I think it looks pretty cool —>

Quite frankly I liked " Yoyo String Ball" as the title to this much better. Ummm, it’s traditional, ya know. It’s what they’re called.

This is still one of my favorite uses of old yoyo string:

By @yo_shi. fun fact, I made that YYE profile pic for them like 14 years ago and also won the naming contest on TheYo for the counterweight’s mascot, a wasp. The winning name was “Wes Nile” lol.
