How do you "hand start" an unresponsive yoyo?

[Legyoyo]

If I pull really hard (careful not to brake the string) and snap it like a toothpick (your wrist to get maximum spin) and as quickly as possible flip onto string and bind it high.

With an unresponsive yoyo, after you hand-start it, you immediately put your finger and use the momentum to land the yoyo in the string, causing the yoyo to land in a brain twister mount. From there you can bind the yoyo for it to return to your hand.

I can do it when my velocity is responsive, but not when i set it to be unresponsive. How do you do it?

you snap it. then you bind it.

hes right

Just practice.it took me a whole hour to learn the snap start

yeah, what everyone's saying is right just practice. but what really helped for me was,I forget who told me this, but someone told me to just refuse to wind it by hand. Cause then you're forced to get it right.

The easiest way for me is.
You grab the yoyo
Do a dead braintwister mount
and Pull up on ur hand releasing the loop
Ann Connolly does this too I think.

You practice it. A LOT!!

Don't feel bad if you can't do it. I've been working on it for months and I just cannot get it down. It's slowly getting better. I even did it once. But, consistency....

Practice it. A LOT!!

If youve noticed not even professionals like to hand start their yoyos. Ive seen many videos where when their yoyo drops dead they dont even bother hand starting it again.

For me hand starting a throw is extremely dificult so just keep practicing
