Why do Yoyo players use gloves ?

If you guys want to support this channel. Consider picking up a Yoyo at - www.offsetyoyo.com/
Thanks for the support guys. So every now and then I see a comment on a freestyle with a beginner player asking "Why is that player wearing gloves".
As a player that has competed with and without gloves I decided to make a video explaining it from my point of view.
Summary
Gloves protect your hands, allow you to play faster and prolong your string life. However gloves eliminate some of the feedback which makes it more difficult to land complex tech tricks. Also gloves make it difficult to get out of knots ;)

One thing I would like to add, if you are yoyoing outside in hot and humid conditions, gloves are almost a must. The heat really softens up the skin and makes your skin more susceptible to burns. The humidity only compounds the issue. I work at the Duncan Kiosk down in Downtown Disney Orlando, unless you've developed skin of steel, you almost can't yoyo without gloves in the Florida heat and humidity.

+Aidan Henriksen Sean is also a pro who yoyos several hours a day. The skin on his fingers is about as tough as it gets.

"the string can even rip of chunks of your skin" SO THAT'S WHY THERE WAS A CHUNK OF SKIN MISSING FROM MY RIGHT INDEX FINGER THE OTHER DAY AFTER I FINISHED MY YOYO SESSION.

yes

@StephenCh 7 жыл бұрын

the real reason is when you throw the yoyo hard for better sleeping without gloves, the string will pierce your finger.

Hey Brandon id really appreciate if you could make a video on why some yoyo players are so crazy known for their style. The most notable one is Takeshi Matsuura. I've seen many different players especially those on Instagram with the hashtag TrickCircle and they have unbelievable slacks and innovative tech and what makes Takeshi so revolutionary and God like in his slacks and tech ?

Please respond to this what are the things 2A players wear on there arms and what do they do? Will wearing gloves for 2A do any good ether than finger protection? Since at 2A you dont touch the string much with your finger.

@thebrandonvu 7 жыл бұрын

Gloves aren't useful for 2a, the sleeves they wear on their arms are nylon sleeves that help the wraps glide.

@yoyoing4718 7 жыл бұрын

The Brandon Vu Thank you I was looking every yoyo website for this! The thing they wear on the legs are they helpful too and what are they called? And nothing else you wear on 2A right?And were do you get the nylon sleeves or the leg thing

+Yerffez Zou I'm trying to decide between the two.

@AquaNinja10101 8 жыл бұрын

+BinaryBros01 The shutter is a more all around yoyo. For All around play. While the Horizon is better at finger grinds and is a bigger sized yoyo.

@BinaryBros01 8 жыл бұрын

See, that's where the dilemma is at. I'm into learning finger grinds and horizontal play, but just a little to the point where either one seems like a better choice than the other. And a yoyoer I can trust like Brandon can probably say enough things about each yoyo where i can probably make a proper decision. Also, if you know, which one is better for learning more advanced tricks?

@patrickthegreat8559 8 жыл бұрын

+BinaryBros01 i'd say the shutter is better for alot more fast and advanced tricks but the horizon is good for slacks finger grinds but really the horizon is only better bcuz of its finger grinds u can still finger grind with the shutter and the shutter looks cooler

@rickypinto2005 8 жыл бұрын

+BinaryBros01 get a horizon. the shutter is nice but the horizon is so much better because it does ANY grind longer, spins longer, smoother, and a nicer shape

i use gloves. most of my tricks are pretty basic so i havent found any problems as of yet. i only wear a 3 finger one that covers my thumb, pointer, and middle on my non throw hand. my throw hand stays nakers.

To everyone getting into speed play or just wants to get gloves, *DON'T BUY YOYO GLOVES* Billiards gloves are literally the exact same thing, and you can get 10 of them for like 12 bucks. Beats 1 pair for almost the same price. Been using them for years now
