Yoyo beginners should first learn how to throw a SLEEPER. This is the basis for most yoyo tricks. Watch the correct position of the yoyo in the hand. Then throw the yoyo forcefully downward as seen in the video. Don't tug it up when the yoyo reaches the end of the string and let it spin instead. Make it return with a small tug of your hand when you feel it's slowing down.
