Yo-yo is not a strange word. The earliest record in history books appeared in Greece 5 years ago. According to legend, in the 16th century, the hunting people in the Philippines used heavy weapons in hunting and fighting at the front end of the rope. It is reported that this is the origin of leisurely.

About 3 years ago, Youyou spread to Japan and was vividly called "unicycle" or "money wheel", which was very popular among young people. In the early 18th century, Youyou was widely popular in Britain as "Prince's Treasure" and in France as "Norman Youyou", especially in the upper classes of France and Britain. Since then, this toy and the name "Youyou" have spread all over the world from France.

youyou has evolved and developed in various historical stages, and became popular in Europe, America, Japan, the Philippines and other places in the 198s and 199s. Both men, women and children can play some amazing actions. In the United States and Japan, Youyou Association has been established successively: AYYA (American Youyou Association) and JYYA (Japanese Youyou Association), with clubs all over the country. Youyou enthusiasts can practice skills or exchange experiences in the club, so as to reach the realm of art and competition; Various levels of leisurely competitions are even more exciting, and yo-yo will undoubtedly become a fashionable and popular sport.

Yoyo types

According to its different structures, yo-yos can be divided into three types, namely, integral type, bearing type and clutch type. Different types of yo-yos have different properties and are suitable for different ways of playing.

Integral type:

The structure is the simplest, the whole is inseparable, the rebound time is very fast, and it is most suitable for circular play, and it can make very beautiful and chic "thunderous" and "revolving three strikes". Suitable for beginners.

Bearing type:

It includes three types: wooden bearing, nylon bearing and ball bearing, which are detachable as a whole. The rope is sleeved on the bearing and can idle for a long time. Suitable for rope play and sleeping play, and can be used as a variety of fascinating techniques such as "tornado in the sky and surging clouds". Suitable for middle and advanced players.

nylon bearings can reduce friction and prolong idling time. The reason is that a nylon bearing is installed on the metal shaft, and the rope is sleeved in the groove of the nylon bearing. The friction between the rope and the shaft is replaced by the lower sliding friction between the bearing and the metal shaft, and the resistance is reduced, so the idling time can be extended by 2-3 times. The idle time of ball bearings is longer, and the secret lies in that there are many small steel balls between the inner and outer shafts that can roll flexibly and have a small fit clearance. By rolling the small steel balls (that is, rolling friction replaces general sliding friction), the inner and outer bearings can rotate smoothly, effectively reducing friction resistance.

clutch type:

It can realize long automatic return. This is a clutch using long centrifugal force. When rotating at high speed, the metal ball is subjected to centrifugal force, which makes the clutch open and become idle. When decelerating, the spring force is greater than the centrifugal force, so the clutch is closed and the bearing is fixed. Suitable for ring and sleep play. Suitable for beginners and intermediate players. However, the difficult moves from 1A to 5A are not applicable, because once the clutch is closed, the yo-yo will be automatically recovered, which will lead to endless actions.

using skills of youyou rope

different rope assembling methods will make youyou play different roles. You can try different assembling methods according to your own skills and skills, so as to feel super youyou's happiness.

the appropriate length of the leisurely rope

the leisurely rope is too long and too short to be well manipulated. The rope attached to the newly bought yo-yo is often a little longer, so the length of the yo-yo rope must be adjusted before use. Hang the yo-yo on the floor and cut the long rope 1cm above your navel. The length of the long rope can affect the development of technology. With your own preferences, it is most important to choose the length that suits you. Otherwise, the yo-yo will be violently hit and the inside will be easily damaged.

how to install the yo-yo rope

Although the newly bought yo-yo has been installed with the yo-yo rope, its characteristics are different due to the installation method, twist and other reasons, so it needs to be adjusted when it is used. In addition, the long rope needs to be replaced if it is broken or damaged. The steps are as follows:

Loosen the front end of the long rope.

spread your hands into a larger rope loop.

put the yo-yo into the rope ring. There are two ways to do this:

directly put the yo-yo into a separate rope loop. This method is easy to idle and suitable for advanced players.

wrap the rope twice, and then put the yo-yo in. This method is difficult to idle and suitable for beginners.

wind the long rope and shrink the rope loop until it is entangled. When tightening the twist, turn the yo-yo to make it rotate in the direction to be tightened.

long rope tying method

After the length of the rope is determined, the size of the loop can be easily adjusted by the following tying method, which has nothing to do with the size of the finger and can be tightly buckled:

Fold the rope into two strands and tie the knot together.

grab both ends of the rope and pull hard to prevent it from coming loose.

pass the rope through the loop.

put your finger in the rope loop and tie it between the first joint and the second joint of the middle finger.

the winding method of the long rope

winding the rope of the yo-yo with bearing by hand often cannot be smoothly wound because of slipping.

You can put the root of the rope on the edge of the yo-yo and press it with your left thumb. After 4 to 5 turns, let go of your thumb and roll the rope as usual.

Or hook the rope with your thumb and roll it. After each roll, try to throw it and take it back as a rewind, and then you can play all kinds of tricks.
