Braintwister

Braintwister is one of the most challenging tricks for beginners. It helps you develop better string control and yoyo accuracy while serving as the foundation for many advanced tricks. Once you master it, you'll unlock countless new trick combinations.

How to Do the Braintwister

Start with a Sleeper and enter an Undermount. Unlike in the Stop & Go trick, keep your right hand slightly lower than your left. Take the loop from your left index finger and place it over your right index finger. Then swing the yoyo away from you through the newly created loop.

Releasing the Mount

Once the yoyo completes the rotation, move your right hand underneath the yoyo. This releases the mount, allowing you to easily return the yoyo to your hand. One of the best things about the Braintwister is that you can repeat it multiple times in a row and, once you've mastered it, even perform it in the opposite direction.
