i have been using my yoyo alot latly and the string around my finger is making a dent in my finger and it kinda hurts.... is there some king of string type or glove or somthing i could wear to stop the string from hurting my finger?

@SuperBabyeater99 This happens to all yoyoers. Eventually the skin around that part of your finger will get a little thicker (it builds a callus - this takes a couple of weeks) and it will stop hurting. As long as your finger is not getting a blister you should be okay. If it does get a blister you will need to stop yoyoing a couple of days for it to heal and then you should be good to go.

Hey man, can you help me out a little bit? Heres the problem, I have no problem throwing it down and doing a sleeper, at that point its all good. I just cant make my yoyo bounce back in my hand. Any tips?

[yotricks]

@snox640 If a yoyo will not come back that usually means that the bearing needs to be greased... assuming it is a ball bearing yoyo. If it is a ball bearing yoyo you will need to get a little lube (on YoTricks we sell Super Lube, for example). If it is not a ball bearing yoyo your string may be too loose, but this usually only happens to left-handed players. It could also be that you are not getting enough spin on the yoyo. It is hard to say specifically what the problem is, hopefully those help

I have a NED Cosmic spin. Do you have any tips for making it sleep longer?

[yotricks]

@11balldude Nothing specific. It takes a while to get a good long sleeper, and that yoyo is up to the task. Just keep at it and you'll get it. The most important thing is to keep the yoyo straight. Whenever the string touches the side of the yoyo it will slow it down very quickly.

@ashtonriggers1111 The Reflex is usually a fine yoyo and it should be able to sleep for 10-15 seconds with a decent throw. I am sure if you practice more the sleep time will improve. However, if you would like a yoyo that is not auto-return I would recommend the Luminator yoyo which you can get on the YoTricks website. It has a ball bearing and will sleep much longer than the Reflex.

aout reflex sucks no matter how hard toss i only get like 4 or five secs out of it any better yoyos

@ImAEpicster On the YoTricks website you can get a Luminator yoyo and strings. The Luminator yoyo is a great and inexpensive ball bearing yoyo. If you get it in a kit you can even upgrade it a bit, and all the kits come with extra strings. We use the Luminator to teach all the String Tricks on the website.

Hope this helps!
