what does it mean for a professional yo-yo to be unresponsive)

1 answer

In yo-yo terminology, an "unresponsive" yo-yo refers to a type of yo-yo that does not return to the hand by simply tugging the string. Unlike responsive yo-yos, which are designed to snap back to the user's hand with a gentle tug, unresponsive yo-yos require more advanced techniques, such as the "bind" trick, to return them.

Unresponsive yo-yos are typically used by more skilled yo-yo players and are preferred for performing modern tricks and combos, as they offer greater stability, longer spin times, and the ability to perform more complex maneuvers. They often have a ball bearing axle system that allows for smooth spinning and reduced friction. Players who use unresponsive yo-yos usually do so because it allows for more creativity and technical skill in their routines.
