The string loops over the axle and the axle spins inside the loop of the string. Return to Questions 7. A transaxle is a round sleeve that fits over the axle. The yo-yo string fits around this sleeve, allowing the yo-yo to spin faster. There are two sorts of trans-axles, nylon and steel roller bearing.
Nylon transaxles, found on yo-yos such as the "Fireball" give extra performance at a great price. Steel roller bearings give the long sleeps, the fastest spins and the best performance. Return to Questions 8. If the string is frayed or worn in any way, has become grey or dirty, it should be changed immediately. Return to Questions 9. For a fixed axle model: To remove or replace a yo-yo string, untwist the bottom end of the replacement string until it becomes one big loop and slip it over the axle.
For a trans-axle model: Follow the directions above, but you may need to wrap two loops over the transaxle. Return to Questions This is an often disagreed upon finer point of yo-yoing, and it boils down to personal choice and playing style.
There are others who disagree with me. Too much wax can ruin a yo-yo, especially one that is not equipped with a replaceable axle sleeve. Apply it very sparingly, and avoid using heavily perfumed or densely colored candles for wax.
There are several suitable kinds of wax, and some of them include uncolored paraffin wax, as well as a wax that is sold specifically for yo-yo strings.
Many manufacturers suggest that this be done periodically. It is important not to over lubricate the axle sleeve or bearing, and it is a matter of trial and error to decide how much lube to use start out with small amounts first. Some products are commercially available and meant specifically for lubricating yo-yos Yomega Brain Lube, for instance.
If you've decided to try lubing, you can order some through our on-line catalog. Click on the Shop Online button, and then look under yo-yo accessories.
Certain body styles of yo-yo are not meant for looping, and it is important to note that yo-yos configured in the "flared gap" mode will not loop very well. The flared gap style is designed to allow the yo-yo to land on the string during string tricks. The classic shaped and rim weighted yo-yo designs are good for loops, and the "Terminator Technic" yo-yo, with its modified body style, is highly regarded as one of the best looping yo-yos.
However, the best is always a matter of personal preference. We can't find any historical reference where a yo-yo was used as a weapon. It's believed that this story originated as part of a marketing campaign in the 's to capture kids' imaginations.
Remember World War II had just ended, and many kids had fathers who fought in that war. Still, it's possible that this was true. Who are we to squash a good yo-yo story! That's a tough question because over the last ten years yo-yos have made a huge leap in technology, allowing the Pros to do tricks that simply weren't possible with older models.
Alternatively, your YoYo may just need tuning. As you play with your yo-yo the amount of twist in the string will change. If the string is too twisted up you will have trouble getting the yo-yo to sleep at the end of the string. If the string is not twisted enough you will have trouble getting the yo-yo to come back up. After you have started the threads, screw the yoyo together by placing the yoyo between the palms of your hands and twisting.
Do not hold the yo with your fingers. So when you want to adjust the string for your height, the first thing that you want to do is you want to get it on the ground right in between your feet. Then you want to find your belly button and put your pinky right where your belly button is right on top of the string. Right where the string comes over your first finger, you are going to pinch the string right there and fold it over. This is going to end up as the top of your new loop. All you are going to do is tie your loop, and then you can get a pair of scissors to cut off the excess.
So let me show you how to tie that loop. As we already showed, you are going to fold the string over at your right height so that this is the top of your loop. I am going to make it a little bit bigger so that it is easier to see. All that you are going to do is treat these two strings as if they are one and tie a basic knot.
So just take this string, and fold it over on top of it self just like this. Then you are going to take the top of the string, you are going to fold it under this and through this hole right here. When you do that, you can see it looks like that. If you pull it tight, you will see that it makes another loop that is very similar to the loop that was already on the top of the string. So to finish the job, all you need to do, like we showed, is get your scissors and cut this part off.
Then you will be good to go. The last thing you are going to do is turn this loop at the top of the string into a slipknot which is adjustable. The reason you want to do this is because then it can fit tightly on your finger and it will not come off in the middle of practice. So this is actually pretty simple. All that you are going to do is take this string coming down from the knot, and you are going to feed it through the loop, at the top of the string. When you do that, if you pull the string apart, you can see that now you have a loop that is adjustable.
So the last step is you are going to insert your middle finger, right into the middle of that loop. Tighten it down right in between your first and second knuckle. You want to put the string there because that gives you the largest range of motion, which will help you learn tricks easier.
Now that you have got the string onto the yoyo, you have adjusted it for your height, and you have got it on your finger, you are ready to start learning tricks.
Put on and Adjust Yoyo String Yoyo Trick In this video I am going to teach you how to put a string onto a yoyo, and get it set up for learning tricks. Now specifically, I am going to show you four things. I am going to show you how to attach the string to the yoyo, then I am going to show you how to adjust the string for your height, which will make learning tricks easier.
Once you adjust the string, you are going to have to retie the knot at the top of the string so I am going to show you how to do that.
