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. ![JPEG_20190511_141337](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/9/d/99dbad395d46f9205cf0220f1be9a698f9a9396c.jpeg) ---

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 😛 ---

I was inspired by my yoyo string ball to make something for mother’s day. I think it looks pretty cool —\> ![IMG_20190511_191335_703](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/3X/5/4/54b6b974f0d85772e0663fcc73039bca54cacd96.jpeg) ---

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: > **[How to Make WaspNest Freehand Counterweights](https://www.instructables.com/How-to-make-WaspNest-Freehand-Counterweights/)** > > How to Make WaspNest Freehand Counterweights: What to do with all that old worn out yo-yo string?Make counterweights for freehand yo-yo play!These are incredibly easy and simple to make. The basic anatomy of a WaspNest CW is: A strong hollow tube... 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. ---
