Well, around your finger- The slip knot automaticly tightens when you throw it, if you are talking about string trick- Then either get a glove or just deal... But you will grow calisauses(wrong) on your finger.

Make sure you are not just sticking the loop on your finger. Make a slipknot by pulling the string through the loop and placing it around your finger. Also, you could try various types of gloves. I use cotton gloves with grips.

That's correct. As you yoyo more, you'll get those things and it won't hurt as much. I still can't do tricks like boomerang though. |

This one is real easy. Problem solved. Doesn't matter what string you're using, or what trick you're doing.  |

Yes, it's a correct verb. And some people adapt, some don't. It also depends on how much you're throwing at the time. |

Yeah. The best thing is to get a glove or possibly use some type of tape like atheletic tape because I have the same problem but I have gotten used to it. Also, my slipknot cuts my finger's circulation. So, you just have to deal with it. Just make sure the slipknot is securely on your finger  Yo the yo. and Walk the dog. Mark |

Gloves are too expensive. I just use some felt, or cloth around my finger.

Just stick with it. Chances are you will develop a callous
