Offstring Toss and Catch

Offstring. The yoyo is NOT tied to the string. You throw it in the air and catch it on the string, kind of like a diabolo.

How to do it

  1. Yoyo is spinning on the string.
  2. Pull your hands apart to pop it up.
  3. Hold the string flat below it.
  4. Let it land softly on the string.
  5. Lower your hands a bit when it lands to soften the catch.

Tips

Don't stab UP at the yoyo. Let it fall onto the string.

The physics

The yoyo is in the air like a thrown ball. Your string acts like a trampoline that softens the landing.
