Bee Sting

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. Yoyo is mounted or sleeping.
  2. Release the counterweight along a planned path.
  3. Let it wrap around or pass through the right opening.
  4. Catch or redirect the weight.
  5. Continue into a bind or combo.

Tips

Try small releases first. The counterweight gets fast really quickly.

The physics

The counterweight has its own swing and can wrap around things, which changes the strings.
