Yoyo Bind Theory - The Truth Behind What Makes Binds Work.

While we don't teach any binds in this video, this video will help you improve all your binds and will help you learn new binds with ease.
Binds do not work by throwing the string into the gap. Instead, a true 1a bind works by threading the string through the gap of the yoyo to rotate the outer-race of the bearing in the same direction the yoyo is spinning, in order to pull the string attached to the bearing around the bearing enough times to engage the response system and wind up.

Special thanks to Gabriel Lozano and Johnnie DelValle for archival video.

That's a great video, well done guys!
It's easier to wrap one's string around the bearing than one's head around how binds work!
I can't believe I'm still learning new things about binding three years after I started.

But hey, that's just a theory. A BIND THEORY! Thanks for throwing!

[DylanKowalski]

good video. I'll share it on my channel too

[yoyobros]

Am I the only one who thinks these guys need more subs?

[JasonRasmussen]

Brilliant! More theory & technique videos like this please! It's perfecting and knowing principles like this that can make one a better thrower.

Great video! And very informative! The yoyo world needs more videos that go into the mechanics of yoyo play. As a possible future video, you should do a loop theory video where you go over the dynamics of looping, especially how to keep the yoyos at the proper angles.

Well done!
I have always known how to do a bind, but could never explain it.
Your video is great, now I know how to teach it.

[kittydyson]

watching this just instantly improved every bind i do 😁
its good to remember that with any skill, its not just practice, but its the amount you learn and understand it.

Wow, so I definitely needed this video. I just started throwing for the first time since my Duncan Fireball days back in the 90s lol. I have a Replay Pro and have been tossing the tail into the gap to bind because that seemed to work better but this video was an eye opener, thanks for that!

This was so fun and interesting to watch. I always "felt" these concepts of bind theory, but now seeing the actual physics behind them amazes me. Awesome video guys!!! XD

[theKidd]

Another excellent video, and that finger spin at the end was sick!

[antonizick]

Amazing video, the high-speed capture was amazing, the technical breakdown is something I've never seen captured before, and it was funny as well.

[omnesilere]

I love it! Yoyo theory, your fancy look, the shots, mic placement, all great! ;)

[andrewsantopietro]

me before covid: yoyoing is too complicated for me
me during covid: omg this is so complicated I love it

[matthewchristoph]

i love this video, its pretty funny and informative, nice work guys.

[neopythagorean]

This is a really informative and interesting video. This should be recommended watching for all yoyo players. Really nice filming in this video too. I learned a lot.

[superjew]

This might be the most dense yoyo tutorial; however it was greatly needed! Great job y'all!

[metalboy]

Also, terrific video, crazy informative....I think I'm going to have to watch it a couple more times to really understand all of it. Thanks, guys!

[BhagwadPark]

Brilliant work and research guys! I'm sure you yourself learned a few new things and clarified some existing ideas. The definitive bind theory video.
