How to Wind Up the Yoyo in One Second

How to Wind Up the Yoyo in One Second Cover

Yoyo tricks can range from simple to highly complex, but mastering the basics is key to unlocking more advanced techniques. One of the most exciting and impressive tricks to learn as a beginner is how to wind up a yoyo in just one second.

 

This trick can be done on both responsive (automatic) and unresponsive yoyos. It is a real time saver and fast way to make your yoyo return to your hand with impressive speed. And it’s also a lot easier to learn than you might think. So let’s break it down step by step.

What is the Wind Up Trick?

Wind Up is a quick and efficient way to get your yoyo back to your hand. Unlike traditional winding methods, Wind Up involves using a quick motion to spin the yoyo from your non-throw hand and then to get it back up in the span of one second.

How to Perform the Wind Up Trick

  1. Get into Position: Start by holding your yoyo in your non-throw hand and ensure that the string is properly attached to the yoyo. Your non-dominant hand should be ready to guide the yoyo as you begin.
  2. Spin Backward: Begin spinning the yoyo backwards in one fast motion. Keep the string tight.
  3. Responsive/Automatic Yoyo: Pull up and drop your hand down to catch the yoyo correctly.
  4. Unresponsive Yoyo: Immediately bind.

Practice and Patience

Like any trick, Wind Up requires consistent practice. With practice, muscle memory for the quick backward spin will give a better control over the speed at which you wind the yoyo back. Once you have the motion down, you’ll be able to perform this trick with ease and experience this time saving maneuver.
