lagomorph (npub1ugm…3qhg) asked: “Following through your tutorials and hitting the same problem I had as a child with yo-yos; my string is becoming twisted so much when I throw the yo-yo it spins sideways like a hamburger and I can’t retrieve it.
What’s the fix for this?”
The video tutorial covers string tension when it comes to yo-yo’s and how to adjust it.
This twisting up is caused by excessive tension in the string. Take the string off your hand, let it hang below the yo-yo, and let it untwist itself until it doesn’t spin in either direction. At that point it will have neutral tension and will no longer exert torque on the yo-yo, causing it to tilt. Every time you catch and throw the yo-yo you add one half twist to the string. So after a few throws you’ve naturally added enough twist to the string that it’s built up torque will affect the yo-yo.
