| Basics of Free Hand Yo-Yoing |
| The following will go through what is necessary to learn freehand yo-yoing.
|
Dices are Nice
 |
| Get yourself a die. Something like the ones found in a boardgame. My friend just about ripped my head off when she realized what I did with the dice from her "Jem and the Holograms" boardgame. So ask for permission.
The die will basically be used as a counterweight. You don't have to use a die. Anything that weights around 5-10g will be fine. A die weights about 5.3g. I use to use a Kermit the Frog figurine but that was too clunky.

Drilling
 Drill a hole with a 1/8th drill bit. Basically make sure the hole is big enough for the string to go through. |
|
Attaching
 Run the string through the hole you drilled and loop it through the slip knot. Put the string back onto the yo-yo and you're ready for freehand.
Note: The yo-yo I'm using is a Tigershark. |
|
The Wind-up
 Wrap the string around your middle finger a few times.
You throw it like a usual onstring throw but being careful not to let go of the die or it'll fly into your television. |
