Drop in the Bucket

Drop In The Bucket is a classic oldschool yoyo trick that is definitely worth learning. It is simple, works with any yoyo, and looks much more advanced than it actually is.

An Oldschool Trick That Looks Advanced

Drop In The Bucket is one of the classic oldschool tricks that still has its place today. It is easy to understand, works with any yoyo, and thanks to its unique movement it looks like a much more difficult trick.

How to Do Drop In The Bucket

Start by wrapping the string around your non-throw hand (the hand without the yoyo attached) and then pull out the correct string as shown in the video. Drop the yoyo onto the middle of the three strings, throw it upward, and release everything. The yoyo will return to your hand by itself.

Which Yoyo Should You Start With?

The best choice for beginners is a responsive yoyo—a yoyo that returns to your hand with a simple tug. You don't need to worry about advanced techniques yet. Just focus on making a good throw, keeping the yoyo spinning, and bringing it back to your hand.

Benefits of Responsive Yoyos

  • Simple and intuitive to use
  • Returns with a simple tug
  • Reliable and durable construction
