I got my two pack in the mail today and I can’t get the ball thingy off the stick thingy. Is there a trick to this? Have I been out smarted by a child’s toy, ages 8+?
@skuppy, despite what the venerable 8ball says, it sounds like you might have received a dud. Perhaps posting in the original sale thread would have been better, but…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Are both of your balls stuck?
@therealjrn, yes, they’re both the same. There is not enough slack in the line to pull the ball off the pin. I suppose I could try and use a needle to untie the string from the ball. Or maybe pull the cross section apart and see if that releases the other side of the string. I don’t think it’s glued together…
@skuppy Mehbe try twisting turning the wrapped string as a whole on the handle to give you some slack? Or, alternatively, try to spin the yoyo ball to do the same?
Does the cup part rotate or is it glued to the stick? Try pulling the cups towards the ball and then twist it in the direction you would unwind the string.

Yes definitely

That’s a different forum at a very different website…
@ruouttaurmind
@therealjrn @therealjrn @ruouttaurmind I bet you were having a ball in the penthouse…
@Kidsandliz Not after somebody got their balls stuck.

@rtjhnstn I remember that! Ouch
My baaad.
/giphy stuck balls
@djslack My man, you were living on the edge trusting giphy with that search phrase. 🤭
@ruouttaurmind as long as you don’t do mouth-blown, you should be fine
@ruouttaurmind probably @djslack nearly used up the edit time…
@ruouttaurmind @kidsandliz got it on the second try, and the first one wasn’t nsfw or anything.
I will admit to being worried, but it turns out
/giphy is my robot pal
@djslack Hey I used that one just the other day. Blame. LOL
Troubleshooting balls on meh forums? Totally normal, because even t-shirts need troubleshooting.
Does the cup part rotate or is it glued to the stick? Try pulling the cups towards the ball and then twist it in the direction you would unwind the string.
@medz - This worked for one of them but the other one is stubbornly stuck! I guess that’s why meh sells two at a time.
@skuppy Hmmm… Well, at least you can start cupping one of your balls.
Same thing happened to me, I had to wiggle it and force it out.
@boinks Yup. TWSS :snicker:
