Another type of looping trick is hop the fence. This trick is not thrown like a normal loop. The easiest way to start learning this trick is when you throw you want to throw it a little bit of sideways. The angle will make it a little bit easier to come right over the top of my hand when you throw it again. To practice the motion you can also pretend you are throwing. Pretend that you've already got the yo-yo in your hand. Try practicing the motion over and over. You may have started this trick using your whole hand, some will control it using their fingers. This is going to depend on how you started learning. Over your fingers may be better for you because you can control the trajectory of it that way as well as how much spin you get off of it. It is also a lot easier to bring up and over coming back, and back down again. This trick is really useful when you start doing some two-handed tricks. |
