How to Put Weight on a Yo-Yo

Yo-yos are a great toy. They are small, lightweight and portable. Many people think of yo-yos as a toy for children, but in fact, yo-yo is a competitive sport. Yo-yos come in lightweight and heavy types. The type you use depends on your personal preference the type of tricks you want to perform. Heavy yo-yos will spin longer and allow you to do different tricks because they move slower than lighter variations. If you have a lightweight yo-yo and want to practice with a heavier one, you can add weights.
