Hi! I am Tim on behalf of expertvillage.com. We will be showing you tips and techniques on how to use the yo-yo from the book, "Its Yo-Yo Time" by Stuart Crump Jr. In this clip I am going to show the UFO flying saucer, how to tighten up a yo-yo. What I mean by tighten up yo-yo if your yo-yo string is too tight and you need to loosen it, the yo-yo will come snapping back, so this is the sign. That’s usually sign that is too tight and you need to loosen it by doing the left handed flying saucer. However, if your yo-yo is too loose and I throw it down and it will not come back up, it means your yo-yo string is too loose you need to tighten it. The way you tighten your yo-yo instead of throwing at this way for flying saucer, you throw it this way, kind of difficult to do, but it looks something like this. You throw at a 45 degree angle again and that right about there and again at this time instead of doing it as the yo-yo hand has the yo-yo, you are going to throw it this way, bring it back and pick it up. So it is tightening instead of loosening. So the tightened yo-yo is still like this, bring it back.
