5A Basic Throw

Counterweight / Freehand. One unresponsive yoyo, but instead of tying the string to your finger, you tie it to a small weight (like a rubber dice). You can swing the weight around to do tricks.

How to do it

  1. Hold the counterweight in your throw hand together with the yoyo.
  2. Throw a sleeper.
  3. Let go of the yoyo, but keep holding the counterweight.
  4. Bind by moving the free string and counterweight.

Tips

Pick a counterweight heavy enough to control but not heavier than the yoyo.

The physics

Now you have TWO things connected by a string instead of one. Both can move around.
