1) I think an important way to learn to start is to put both sticks in left hand with the right stick ready to hand over to the right hand.

2) Yospin is in the right hand 'wrist cocked' clockwise ready to release with counterclockwise spin. Two other methods of holding Yospin are center finger on axle or holding wall edge of cup with thumb and fingers.

3) Toss Yospin up (with back spin) at least head high on right side. Yospin spins counter clockwise from the wrist movement on release.

4) Your right hand is now free, put you hands together and come apart with a stick in each hand, quickly snapping the string tight {important, very important string must be tight}

5) Try to catch Yospin low or waist high, after string tight, concentrate on looking at the axle and having the string directly under it. Remember your toss should allow you to catch near the right stick. {String needs to slack on catch.} Good practice is without Yospin, just grabbing the right stick and opening arms to tighten string. Also without sticks just tossing Yospin up so it has a good counter clockwise smooth spin.

NOTE: This is a good practice for starting two Yospins. Make your toss out to the right side each time. If you start your one Yospining this way each time, the two Yospin throw in will be much easier to master.
