I find about on a dead hang, about an inch above my belly button is the ideal place to pinch and make the loop from there. Keep in mind that yoyo is extremely subjective and preferences based.
We have options on nearly everything. We have choices of metals, shapes, weight distribution, bearings, strings and more. Later on, feel free to experiment with anything you can. String length is an easy thing to mess around with. It really depends on how tall you are. I have seen some younger and much shorter players run their string at dang near chest height.
There are two or more fixed points in most tricks NTH, TH , a tether, and a spinning weight attached to the tether. Just experiment with it, see what you like.
You may find that you like the type 8 on the Luminator, the type 6 on the Dominator. It is totally us to you. It is totally user preference. Those are just my preferences that I have given to you. So hopefully this helps you out as you are working to become a yo-yo master. There are strings specifically designed for yo-yoing. But even when you have yo-yo string it does come in different kinds, and so in this video I am going to explain to you what the different kinds of strings are and how they will probably work best in the Peter Fish line of yo-yos.
There are no yoyo tricks you need to know before learning this trick with your yoyo. Mobile App. This referred to as 'single looped' as there is only one loop of string around the axle. In some circumstances you may want to double loop your string around the axle. With a fixed axle this prevents the yo-yo from sleeping. With the early ball bearing yo-yos like the Tom Kuhn Silver Bullet 2 before the advent of Response Systems you had to do this in order to create a small amount of friction at the gap sides to make the yo-yo return.

Unwind the string so there is nothing wrapped around the yo-yo but the basic loop at the base. About three inches above the yo-yo, grab the string with your non-dominant hand. For some yo-yos, you will be able to just to unscrew the halves and take the string immediately off the yo-yo. However, that can damage the yo-yo.
Therefore, we'll be talking about removing a string from a yo-yo without separating it. Spin the yo-yo in a counterclockwise direction. Yo-yo string is actually one long strand that has been folded in half and twisted together with the open ends tied at one end. Therefore, spinning it removes the twist and separates the halves of the string, allowing you to slip it off the spool. As it spins, you'll start to see the base of the string form a loop that grows bigger and bigger.
You only need a loop at the base large enough for the yo-yo to slip through. Once you see that, you can stop the spinning. Counterclockwise means the yo-yo will be spinning to the left. Pull the yo-yo free of the string. To get the yo-yo through the loop, stick your fingers in between the two strings, spread the string apart, and pull the base of the yo-yo the axle free of the string. If the string is still good that is, if it was undamaged before , it just needs to be retwisted. You can do that once you put it back on your yo-yo.
Part 2. Choose what type of string you want to use. There are a few different varieties of yo-yo string you can purchase at hobby shops.
Having a few on hand, even if it's just to experiment, is always a good idea. It's a very strong string and effective for just about any style of yo-yoing. If you're not sure which to buy, this should be your default. It is thin and very smooth; because of this, many professionals prefer it. This style was popular a decade or so ago, but is being replaced by blends and pure polyester. Occasionally you see variants, like nylon string. These are uncommon and less popular.
Do not use polyester string if your yo-yo uses a starburst response system. The friction can actually melt the polyester, breaking your string and potentially damaging your yo-yo. Separate the two strands of the string at the unknotted end to create a loop. If you've purchased a new yo-yo string, you'll notice that it comes with one end looped and knotted for your finger and one end unknotted.
You may also notice that it's twisted — a yo-yo string is actually one large string twisted in half. Place your thumb and forefinger around the unknotted end and untwist it until a yo-yo sized loop forms. Slide the yo-yo into this loop in the string. Put your fingers in the loop to keep it open wide. The yo-yo will rest half on either side of the string, with the string on its axle. Then twist the string by crossing the strands, allowing the string to twist around the axle of the yo-yo.
If you don't have an auto-return yo-yo, you're essentially done. Just spin the yo-yo clockwise to the right to retwist the string and help it find its balance. That's it — your yo-yo is restrung. For auto-return yo-yos, wrap the string at least twice.
