Instead of sleeping the yo-yo, looping requires the yo-yo to quickly return to the hand when it hits the end of the string, but instead of catching, you send the yo-yo back out, drawing a circle with the yo-yo&#8217;s trajectory.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;Looping Trick (Loop Play) Demonstration<br \/>\n<iframe title=\"\u30eb\u30fc\u30d4\u30f3\u30b0\u30c8\u30ea\u30c3\u30af\uff08\u30eb\u30fc\u30d4\u30f3\u30b0\u30d7\u30ec\u30a4\uff09\u306e\u30c7\u30e2\u30f3\u30b9\u30c8\u30ec\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/25OQSIwFsyU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>What kind of yo-yo is suited for looping play?<\/h2>\n<p>Far from the open shape of string trick yo-yos, narrow shapes and rounded sides are well suited for looping play.

Where do we draw the line? It&#8217;s really not as clear cut, since string play developed from looping style tricks, there is no clear line between the two.<\/p>\n<p>The Saber Raider is a good example of a yo-yo straddling the line between 1A and 2A.
