The Zipper

Single-handed string tricks. One yoyo, usually one that does NOT come back on a tug. You land it on strings and move it through different shapes. This is the biggest modern style.

How to do it

  1. Start from Split Bottom Mount.
  2. Roll the yoyo up and across one finger.
  3. Pop or guide it onto the next string over.
  4. Keep doing this back and forth.
  5. Exit when the yoyo gets to the last mount.

Tips

Each little hop should be small and controlled. Don't pop too hard.

The physics

You're moving the yoyo from one string to the next. Each landing changes how the strings are pulling.
