Counterweight

Ever heard of the 5A or freehand yoyo style? Attach the string to the counterweight in stead to your finger. The yoyo is then completely free from your body so you can do tricks that can’t be done when the string is attached to the finger. Watch the video introduction by YoTricks below to get an idea of what is possible. To attach the string to the counterweight, remove the string from the yoyo and slip the twisted end (the end without the finger loop) through the whole in the counterweight. Then slip the same end through the finger loop, pull tight, and re-attach the twisted end to the yoyo.
