360 / Counterweight Orbit
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
- Throw a sleeper.
- Release the counterweight so it spins in a big circle around your hand or arm.
- Keep the yoyo steady below.
- Catch the counterweight after one full loop.
- Bind.
Tips
Get one clean loop down before trying multiples.
The physics
The counterweight makes a circle because the string keeps it tied to the yoyo.
