The origin of YOYO ball~~~

Yo-Yo

Yo-YO is not an unfamiliar word. The earliest record in history books appeared in Greece before 500 AD; according to legend, in the 16th century, the Philippines Among the equipment used by the hunting people for hunting and fighting, heavy objects like yoyo weapons are hung at the front end of the rope. It is said that this is the origin of yoyo.

About 300 years ago, Yoyo was introduced to Japan and was vividly called "wheelbarrow" or "money wheel" and was very popular among young people. At the beginning of the 18th century, the yo-yo was widely popular as "Prince's Treasure" in England and "Norman yo-yo" in France, especially among the upper classes in France and Britain. Since then, this toy and the name "Yoyou" spread from France to all over the world.

Yoyou has evolved and developed through various historical stages. In the 1980s and 1990s, it became popular in Europe, America, Japan, the Philippines and other places. Both men and women, old and young, can play some amazing moves. Yo-Yo associations have also been established in the United States and Japan: AYYA (American Yo-Yo Association) and JYYA (Japanese Yo-Yo Association), with clubs all over the country. Yo-Yo enthusiasts can practice skills or exchange experiences in the club, thereby reaching the realm of art and competition; Yo-Yo competitions at various levels are even more exciting, and Yo-Yo will undoubtedly become a fashionable and popular sport.

Yo-yo types

Yo-yos can be divided into three major types according to their different structures, namely overall type, bearing type and clutch type. Different types of yo-yos have different performances and are suitable for various types of yo-yos. different ways of playing.

Integral type:

The simplest structure, the whole body cannot be separated, and the rebound time is very fast. It is most suitable for ring play and can make very beautiful and unrestrained "Thunder" and "Swivel" "Three hits" and other gameplay. Suitable for beginners.

Bearing type:

Includes three types of wooden bearings, nylon bearings and ball bearings. The whole can be detached, and the rope is placed on the bearing, which can idle for a long time. It is suitable for rope play and sleep play, and can be used for many fascinating techniques such as "sky tornado, wind and cloud surge". Suitable for intermediate and advanced players.

Nylon bearings can reduce friction and extend idling time. The reason is that a nylon bearing is installed on the metal shaft, and the rope is placed in the groove of the nylon bearing. The friction between the rope and the shaft is replaced by the lower sliding friction between the bearing and the metal shaft. The resistance is reduced, so the idling time can be Extended 2-3 times. The secret of the longer idling time of ball bearings is that there are multiple small steel balls between the inner and outer shafts that can roll flexibly and have a small fitting gap. Through the rolling of the small steel balls (that is, rolling friction replaces ordinary sliding friction). ) so that the inner and outer bearings can rotate smoothly, effectively reducing frictional resistance.

Clutch type:

It can realize Yoyo's automatic return. This is a clutch that uses Yoyo's centrifugal force. When rotating at high speed, the metal ball is acted upon by the centrifugal force, causing the clutch to open and become idling. In this state, when decelerating, since the spring force is greater than the centrifugal force, the clutch is closed and the bearing is fixed. Suitable for ring and sleep play. Suitable for beginners and intermediate players. However, it is not applicable to difficult moves from 1A to 5A, because once the clutch is closed, the yo-yo automatically retracts, resulting in endless moves.

Wrap up the yoyo rope and shrink the rope loop until it is entangled. When adjusting the twist, turn the yo-yo so that it rotates in the direction to be tightened.

YoYo rope tying method

Fold the rope into two strands and tie them together.

Grab both ends of the rope and pull hard to prevent it from loosening.

Thread the rope through the loop.

Put your fingers into the rope loop and tie it between the first and second joints of your middle finger.

How to wind a yo-yo rope

When winding a bearing-type yo-yo rope by hand, it often slips and cannot be wound smoothly.

You can place the root of the rope on the edge of the yo-yo and hold it with your left thumb. After rolling it 4 to 5 times, release your thumb and roll the rope as usual.

Or use your thumb to hook the rope and then roll it. After each roll, try tossing it back and treating it as a re-rolling, and then you can play various tricks to your heart's content.
