Offstring Whip 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. Toss the yoyo up.
  2. Swing a loop of string around it.
  3. Let the loop fall into the gap.
  4. Pull tight.

Tips

The loop has to be bigger than the yoyo and lined up with the gap.

The physics

A floppy loop gets caught by the spinning yoyo, then string tightness locks it in.
