Yoyo String Setup
YoyoTutorial
A yoyo and a string are two separate things until you join them. The length, the slipknot and which finger it sits on all change how the yoyo throws.

- Beginner
Step by step
- String length
Set the length so the string runs from the floor to your bellybutton.
- Slipknot
Tie a slipknot in the free end of the string.
- Finger
Put the slipknot over your middle finger, not your index.
Tips
- Change your string every 30 to 120 minutes of play
- Slipknot on the middle finger, never the index
- Untie any knot as soon as it appears
Common mistakes
- Leaving knots in the string
- String tied to the index finger
- Using a fixed knot instead of a slipknot
- Running the same string for too long
- String length too long or too short
