Here’s how to hold a Freehand Yoyo. The first thing you want to do is make a gun-shape with your hand (**bang bang**). The next step is you open up your three fingers placing the string inside with the counterweight dangling at the bottom. Next step, take the yoyo and rest it on your middle finger, placing your thumb in the gap and wrapping your index finger on the side of the yoyo.

Now that you know how to hold the yoyo, let’s throw it. The first thing you want to do is make a motion like you are hammering a nail. Release the yoyo, bring it back to your hand, catching it with your thumb and index fingers. That’s how you throw it.

Now that you know how to hold the yoyo and how to throw it, you are ready to move on and start learning tricks.
