  • The offstring yo-yo has no string attached to it, and looks like it would be super difficult to learn. But how hard is it actually? I spent 7 days practicing this yoyo to find out.

    I did this with a cheap Chinese shutter clone. Although it’s possible in both responsive and unresponsive, the yoyo is freaking heavy(70g) and the string gap might as well be 10ft wide. It’s easier to offstring with a giant Diablo than it is with an unresponsive yoyo.
