Yoyo FAQ
What is the best yoyo?
The best yoyo depends on your skill level. Beginners should always start with a responsive starter yoyo for modern responsive tricks, while advanced players benefit from a professional yoyo for unresponsive tricks.
- Our top yoyo is the Banger by SkillAddicts - signature model of Hector Fidalgo Perez, Spanish National Yoyo Champion.

How to use a yoyo?
First Throw (aka Gravity Pull) is the most important yoyo trick, as it forms the foundation for every other trick.
- Wind the entire string neatly onto your yoyo.
- Hold the yoyo with your palm facing up.
- Throw downward with a smooth motion, and pull back to return (for responsive yoyos).
- Catch the yoyo with your palm facing down.
- Repeat until the movement feels completely natural.
Once mastered, you’re ready to dive into more yoyo tricks.
How to string a yoyo?
- Remove the old string.
- Open loop at the end of the new string.
- Slide the loop smoothly around the ball bearing.
- Adjust length according to your height.
- Recommended length is from the floor up to your belly button.
- Secure the string to your middle finger with a tight slipknot.
- Test the yoyo with a basic throw to ensure it spins smoothly.
We highly recommend to change yoyo string often (every 30-120 minutes of yoyoing). Don’t forget to get a set of spare yoyo strings.
