DNA

DNA 🧬 is currently one of the most famous yoyo tricks in the world. It looks impressive, but once you know how to do it, you can learn it much faster than you might think. We’ve prepared two versions for you – an easier version for beginners and an advanced version for those who already know how to Bind.

1. Version – for beginners

2. Version – for advanced players (Bind)

How to Do the DNA

Start with the easier version and focus mainly on wrapping the string correctly around your finger and keeping your hand movement smooth. Once you get a feel for the timing, you can move on to the advanced version, which starts from a Bind.

What to Watch Out For

After every successful DNA, the string will get significantly tangled. You can untangle it right after the trick (simply remove it from your finger and let it unwind) or get a DNA String, which is specifically designed for this trick and features a swivel that means it never gets tangled.

The DNA trick was made famous by two-time World Champion Gentry Stein, who helped turn it into a true internet sensation.

Which yoyo is best for DNA?

For the DNA, we recommend an unresponsive yoyo with a Fingerspin Hub. The special indentation in the center of the yoyo makes it easier to keep your finger in the right place, making the trick significantly easier. Beginners can also start with the easier version using a responsive yoyo.
