Offstring or 4A yo-yo play is a style of play where the string is tied to your finger but not attached to the yo-yo. “Butterfly” or “Wing” shaped yo-yo’s with a wider axle gap are most commonly used for this style of play. I found a great clip on YouTube. It’s a little dated and the quality isn’t the best but check out the tricks performed. Amazing!

Did that grab your attention?

Sometimes finding the right yo-yo can be pretty challenging. Especially when there are so many to choose from. We put together a little video to help. Enjoy!

What can we say about “Mickey” other than the fact that he’s awesome!
