If yoyo isn't fun anymore, it isn't really yoyo.

So, I've been playing around with this and it is ridiculously fun. But to my knowledge, it doesn't have a name. I propose the name "Strongarm." Any takers or suggestions. XD Also, this is the style. <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/LWxBpKzGGKQ&rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/LWxBpKzGGKQ&rel=0</a>]]> |

I've been playing around with that as well. I've found you can do some neat stuff with drop suisides and such.

Yeah, its really cool. I like that you can be sort of hands free without dropping the yoyo everywhere too. |

I thought i read somewhere that he wants to call it 1a freehand. But strongarm is waaay cooler. And yes, it is very fun.

Strongarm has been used to describe catching a laceration with the inside of your elbow. See :12 in this video: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/IChLh3DvJok&rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/IChLh3DvJok&rel=0</a>]]> |

While it is great for some I do not see the sense of innovation that it could bring but that is merely my opinion. The style itself seems a bit complicated and is a upgrade of "Switch style" or whatever it is called. Yeah, Drewtetz named it "Tourniquet" which is a good name for it.

I dunno, Zammy, I gotta disagree. It really forces you to play much much differently. Though I'm only scratching the surface, i can definitely see the possibilities. That being said, if you don't utilize what you have when playing it, it just feels like awkward 1A. |
