Rock the Baby

Basic / Responsive. The starter style. You use a yoyo that comes back when you tug the string.

How to do it

  1. Throw a sleeper.
  2. Pinch the string halfway down with your other hand.
  3. Pull the strings apart with both hands to make a triangle.
  4. Swing the yoyo gently inside the triangle like a baby in a cradle.
  5. Drop the cradle and bring the yoyo back.

Tips

Make the triangle big. Keep the yoyo in the middle.

The physics

The yoyo swings back and forth inside the triangle, like a swing on a swingset.
