Modern YoYos
Yo-yoing has changed a lot since the previous century. Walking the Dog
and rocking the baby are now considered very basic tricks. With a modern
yoyo the number of tricks are infinite and most players are creating
their own tricks now. It all changed when ball bearings were introduced
inside the yoyo in the late 90’s.
With the string sitting around the
bearing, it no longer touches the axle. This means less friction, which
in turn means a longer spin time. With time, the shape of the yoyo
started to change to accommodate the increasingly complex tricks. These
changes set the stage for a whole new game.
For those who want to get serious about yo-yoing, unresponsive is where
it is all happening!
An unresponsive yoyo does not climb back up the
string when you tug on it. The gap is too wide for the string to catch
grip and wind up. The yoyo is returned to the hand with a trick called
the “bind”. It involves throwing a loop of string into the gap so that
the layers of string grip onto the response system and cause the yoyo to
wind up.
