Forward Pass

Forward Pass starts the same way as Sleeper – just keep your hand next to your body and turn your palm forward. Then throw the yoyo in front of you, let it reach the end of the string, and turn your hand so you are ready for the return.

How to do Forward Pass

A light pull upwards is usually enough to bring the yoyo back into your hand. Don't be afraid to put some power into the throw – the yoyo needs enough momentum to travel forward and return smoothly.

A tip that helps a lot

It helps if you don't release the yoyo completely straight in front of you. Try letting it go slightly earlier and allow it to unwind from the bottom – this creates a natural curve (like a quarter circle). Thanks to that, catching the yoyo becomes much easier.

It is great to catch the yoyo with your palm facing upward, so it drops into your hand from above. Bonus: this catch leaves the yoyo in a ready position for the next throw or trick.
