Hold the yoyo in your dominant hand with the string looped around your finger
Place the yoyo in your palm and let the string hang straight down
Flick your wrist downward to throw the yoyo toward the floor
Keep your hand steady as the yoyo reaches the end of the string
Let the yoyo spin at the bottom of the string
Pull your hand upward slightly to bring the yoyo back to your hand
Practice the basic throw and return until it feels smooth
Try different tricks such as walking the dog, rock the baby, and around the world
Keep the string untangled before each throw
Use a yoyo that matches your skill level
Practice in an open area away from people and breakable objects
