      @skateloser4088 4 года назад +45

      You're not supposed to tie it either, you're supposed to untwist the end of the string and just place it around the bearing. Since offstring yoyos are built the same otherwise then by putting the string on it it should work like a "regular" yoyo.
      I actually take the string off one of my yoyos to try offstring every once in a while

      It doesn’t have a string at all. Has implies the yoyo has a string as a part of it. They’re two separate objects rn. Like a tireless car. A car functions when the tire is connected, and therefore is a car. But when the tire is just there, where it should be, but not connected, it’s now useless.

    • @chillbro1010
      @chillbro1010 7 лет назад +34

      Wait, what? That argument is a strawman and fallacious and facetious.
      If I understand correctly, you are implying that you need a degree in yo-yo's to be able to use one?
      You obviously need a degree in aerospace engineering to design a space craft because it is many thousands of times more complex than operating a yo-yo.
      --
      A better argument which might actually have some small standing is questioning what degrees you need in order to OPERATE a spacecraft, as that is closer to the what I said.
      Degree in yo-yo's for operating a yo-yo
      compared to
      Degree in Aerospace for operating a space craft
      As you can see this closer matches what I said.
      --
      You could also argue that you need a degree in yoyo's in order to design a yo-yo
      Degree in yo-yo's for designing a yo yo
      compared to
      Degree in Aerospace engineering to design a space craft.
      But then again, the argument of a spacecraft being many thousand times more complex than a yo-yo would require many thousand times more schooling than to create a yo-yo.

It had two silicone cones, a little like a butterfly yo-yo but significantly bigger, and I think it had a ratcheting bearing in the center. It was sort of a cross between a yo-yo and a diabolo. It was a lot of fun, though it took some practice. They never really caught on, though. I'm glad to see a related toy/skill set catching on.

    • @JustAnotherYoYoEr
      @JustAnotherYoYoEr 8 лет назад +6

      It's a yoyo because there is a ball bearing and response pads inside which allow the yoyo to spin for ages with a single throw and go back to the hand when you "bind" it. This yoyo style is called 4A or "Offstring".

    • @suburiboy
      @suburiboy 8 лет назад +3

      Diabolos don't return to the hand. YoYos do. Flare gapped yoyos have been fairly common place for more than 60 years.
