Yo-yo is an ancient hobby and those who are in love of playing it and learning yo-yo playing tricks are yo-yo hobbyists. There is no doubt that Yo-yos are one of the most popular toys around, evern after hundreds of years.
According to the definition by Wikipedia:
"The yo-yo is a toy consisting of two equally sized and weighted disks of plastic, wood, or metal, connected with an axle, with a string tied around it. First becoming popular in the 1920s, "yo-yoing" is still enjoyed by children and adults alike.
The basic design of a yo-yo consists of: a round body, which holds the axle that is connected to a string, which is held by the player."
Tom Harris says in an article How Yo-Yos Work
:
"On the surface, the yo-yo is an incredibly simple toy -- it's really nothing but a spool attached to a length of string. But in the right hands, it can be something extraordinary: An accomplished yo-yoist can send the yo-yo flying out in all directions, make it hover in mid air, then snap it back into his or her palm. Ordinary string and wood (or plastic) are brought to life!"Yo-Yo is not only a sill toy but it is a favourite hobby or pass time of new generation.
