Laceration

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. Throw a breakaway.
  2. Let the yoyo swing across.
  3. Whip the slack string around the yoyo instead of landing normally.
  4. Catch right into trapeze or a similar mount.
  5. Stabilize.

Tips

The yoyo and the slack loop need to meet up at the same time. Practice slow with a big circle.

The physics

It's a swing and a whip happening together. The string catches the yoyo mid-swing.
